CNN: Iran's Foreign Ministry has condemned remarks by Republican presidential candidate John McCain that exporting cigarettes could be a way of killing Iranians.
The state-owned English language IRAN daily has quoted ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini denouncing the remarks as "inappropriate" and describing McCain's attitude as "regretful."
Not a good road to diplomacy. There are many Iranians who live in America. The Iranian people don't deserve McCain's comments. McCain should've been hammered for this. Unfortunately, there are many Americans who think it's macho that we continue to assert ourselves in the world in an ignorant manner.
