Khamenei: US offer to help Iran 'strange'

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei called a U.S. offer of humanitarian aid against the nation’s coronavirus pandemic “strange,” calling U.S. officials “charlatans and liars.”

“Several times Americans have offered to help us to fight the pandemic. That is strange because you face shortages in America. Also you are accused of creating this virus,” Khamenei said in a televised speech, citing a baseless conspiracy theory Chinese intelligence officials have promoted.

“I do not know whether it is true. But when there is such an allegation, can a wise man trust you and accept your help offer? ... You could be giving medicines to Iran that spread the virus or cause it to remain permanently,” Khamenei said, Reuters reported.

Tehran has accused heavy U.S. sanctions of exacerbating the outbreak, and refused to lift them despite appeals from China, a partner in the nuclear deal the U.S. withdrew from in 2018.

The US helped rebuild Germany and Japan after WW2. An offer of humanitarian aid is only strange to those who do not know history. Or are blinded by hatred.

This is the same genius that said quarantines don't work and that this was no big deal.

Our national IQ ist testing postive for decrease by the day., week, month, year.

In addition to the Marshal Plan to help our defeaated enemies to rebuild, we did "Denazification, to identify problem people.

Contrast that with enduring 18 years of continuing terror attacks in Afghanistan, during our hearts and minds half-measure occupation.

(The part we failed to secure, was unconditional surrender--following massive civilian deaths)

Then... eff 'em.
Let them handle it themselves.

There's really nothing more to say.
