Clenched Against The US With Lunatic - And Classy! - "Nazi Propaganda" Charges

Iran calls U.S. assassination charges 'Nazi propaganda':

Iran said Monday that it has asked the United States to provide information about the two people indicted for conspiracy to assassinate the Saudi ambassador in Washington, in a plot that the U.S. has linked to Tehran's Republican Guard. Foreign Minister Ali-Akbar Salehi said Iran would investigate the allegations. At the same time, he accused the U.S. of using propaganda methods similar to those employed by Nazi Germany. "These charges are like propaganda methods used during the Hitler era, when they said, 'Make the lie big and loud and repeat it over and over again, so that even you yourself would eventually believe it,'" Salehi was quoted as saying by the website of the state television network IRIB. Iran has denied being involved in the alleged assassination plot.
