Curiously, Iranian vice president suffers from heart attack
2012-02-19
The Iranian finance minister announced that Iranian Vice President Mohammad-Reza Rahimi has suffered from a heart attack, Fars news agency reported Sunday.
All those who'd bet it was time for a stroke, pay up. Also whoever was plumping for an airplane crash. Better luck next time, guys.
Does no one in an Islamic state die of acute cirrhosis anymore?
There were no further reports on his condition.
"I can say no more."
Operation Lemony Snickett continues...

#4  Uhm, the finance minister made the announcement, he didn't suffer the heart attack. At least that's the way I read it.

#3  I believe it's true. If I had to try to manage the Iranian economy out of the abyss, I'd have a heart attack too.

#1  If he is still alive, it is "bad luck", so doesn't count. Being the finance minister, he's under a bit of stress right now. The police probably have his picture at all airports, in case he tries to bug out.

Iran has pretty much entered "evil overlord" rules territory. In this case, where the big boss says he will now "demonstrate the price of failure", just before he shoots the flunky *next* to the flunky who has screwed up.
