Iran 'Elects' A New Towelhead As 'President’

Meet the new boss, same as the old camel jockey boss...
[Zero Hedge] - Hardline cleric and former head of the judiciary Ebrahim Raisi was officially sworn in as the new President of Iran in the country’s parliament in Tehran on Thursday. The heads of all major branches of government were in attendance, as well as top military officials during the televised ceremony, including representatives from over 80 countries, according to regional media. Hezbollah and Hamas representatives were also seen in attendance, ironically sitting just in front of a top EU official.

Raisi won over 60% of the votes in the July national election, and is seen as a close ally of the Ayatollah. He said in his inaugural speech and transfer of power from the more 'moderate' Hassan Rouhani, who stepped down due to term limits, that "The policy of pressure and sanctions will not cause the nation of Iran to back down from following up on its legal rights."
A few years ago I was lectured by some POS broad tenant who asserted 'I know my rights', then fucked me outta 20K in rent, legal fees, constable fees and damage to the property. People who assert 'rights' without any regard for civilized behaviour or commensurate responsibility need to be dealt with... harshly, as will this former tenant.
