The Iranian foreign minister's reported handshake with
US President Barack Obama triggered chants of "Death to America" in
Tehran's parliament Wednesday and a warning against "another kind of
spying".
The foreign ministry has confirmed a "completely
accidental" encounter between Obama and Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad
Zarif on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York on Monday,
without denying there was a handshake as reported by Iran's semi-official ISNA
news agency.
But hardline lawmakers went on the offensive against Zarif.
C'mon, isn't that "Death to America" thing just so 1980's?
