the fact that his daughter has married an Iranian-American who has extensive family ties to Iran.
| The Mullahcracy has not been shy about harassing locals to blackmail the relatives not directly in their grasp. But as the editorialist points out, what odds the honourable Secretary of State would actually make any moves the Mullahs might think need correcting? |
