U.S. Remains the "Great Satan," Hard-Liners in Iran Say
(New York Times) Thomas Erdbrink - Some of the toughest anti-American voices in Iran said on Tuesday that the U.S. remains their country's top enemy, guilty of "uncountable" crimes. The head of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, Maj. Gen. Mohammad Ali Jafari, announced plans to expand the reach of Iran's missiles and warned that despite the nuclear deal, America was still the "same Great Satan." Meanwhile, police officers in Tehran took to the streets, arresting distributors selling clothes featuring American and British symbols, like the Stars and Stripes and the Union Jack. Tehran's police chief, Gen. Hossein Sajedinia, said that garments imprinted with "satanic symbols" had been seized from stores in Tehran.
