Iran Has A Horrendous Drug Problem--Yet Helps Hezbollah Traffick In Illegal Drugs

Back in June, Iranian Vice President Mohammad-Reza Rahimi claimed the Jews are behind the spread of illegal drugs in the world:

Mr. Rahimi, second in line to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, said the Talmud teaches to “destroy everyone who opposes the Jews.”

The “Zionists” are in firm control of the illegal drug trade, Mr. Rahimi said, asking foreign dignitaries to research his claims. “Zionists” is Iran’s ideological term for Jews who support the state of Israel.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran will pay for anybody who can research and find one single Zionist who is an addict,” Mr. Rahmini said. “They do not exist. This is the proof of their involvement in drugs trade.”

One can certainly understand that illegal drugs are a major sore point for Rahimi, considering the fact that Iran is a world leader in drug addiction:

Satire: Rabbi Shafran's Open Letter To Iran's Rahimi, Who Claimed Jews Are Drug Dealers

Just to be clear: the following response by Rabbi Shafran is satire. (But no need to tell Rahimi that)

DEAR MR. RAHIMI

Rabbi Avi Shafran

Item: Iran’s vice president, Mohammad-Reza Rahimi, took the occasion of an International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking conference in Tehran to tell the assembled that the Talmud and “Zionists” dedicated to it are responsible for the spread of illegal drugs around the world.

Dear Mr. Rahimi,

Oh, great, esteemed vice president of the beneficent, revolutionary Islamic Republic of Iran, you have exposed us mightily! Revealed us mercilessly! Nailed us good! The raven-eyed maidens of the Hereafter are singing your praises—may you merit to meet them soon!
