Perplexed by the vitriol of US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's attacks on Iran, one Tehran lawmaker believes he has uncovered the secret of her enmity - that she was spurned by an Iranian boyfriend at university. "The reason that the US secretary of state attacks Iran is because she had her heart broken by a young man from Qazvin while they were students," a confident Shokrollah Attarzadeh was quoted by the ISNA agency as saying. Somewhat mysteriously, he added: "This is the result of an investigation by a woman MP, who cannot be named."
Qazvin is an unremarkable city 150 kilometres from Tehran, hitherto not known for playing a major role Iran-US relations, which have been frozen for a quarter of a century. Attarzadeh did not offer any other details on the alleged affair. |
