Iran’s Khamenei Disses STL [Updated with reactions]

December 20, 2010 · Mustapha Hamoui

You’d think someone else would be more qualified to talk about “receiving orders from elsewhere”:

“This tribunal is receiving orders from elsewhere and whatever ruling it hands down is null and void […] We hope that the influential sides which have a say in Lebanon act based on logic and wisdom, so that this issue will not turn into a problem”

Spot the threat.

Update: The reactions are in.

Hezbollah: A natural thing
Minister Of Justice: A politicization of tribunal
Future Movement: We need clarifications — Meaningless
March 14: Intended to obstruct — An interference
March 8: Nothing weird about it — Iran will not remain silent
U.S.A: Khamenei has no authority over Tribunal
The Daily Star: Khamenei should solve his Iran’s problems first
