Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Naqdi
Fars News Agency: Basij Commander: US Should Pay Compensation for Complicity in Killing of 250,000 Iranians
TEHRAN (FNA)- Commander of Iran's Basij (volunteer) Force Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Naqdi said Washington should pay ransom for its substantiated back-up role in the killing of tens of thousands of Iranians in and after the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
"In the days when the Islamic Revolution was underway and after that and during the holy defense (the Iraqi-imposed war against Iran 1980-1988), over 250,000 Iranians were massacred directly by the US or by its proxies at Washington's order, and these US crimes can be proved based on undeniable and irrefutable proofs and documents," Naqdi said in Tehran on Thursday.
Update: Iran: U.S. Must Pay Reparations to Islamic Republic (Washington Free Beacon)
WNU Editor: No dollar amount is mentioned, but this story is probably playing well in certain circles in Iran. On a side note, with Iran's growing influence in Iraq I have been wondering if there is an agreement that when the war against the Islamic State is over, Iraq will pay reparations to Iran for the war in the 1980s. This is why this story caught my attention .... my gut is telling me that these discussions have already been held, and that there is an unwritten agreement for compensation at a future date. As for this Iranian military commander's demand .... he is just hinting that Iran may demand more, but from other countries, the U.S. included.

Dear Mohammad,
In case you haven't been keeping up with current events,
We're broke.

So seize some offshore assets from the wealthy to make payment. Or maybe they'll accept land in payment instead. I'm certain the Chinese will loan them the money to clear their collective conscious.
We.ll wait until you reneg on the nuke deal and a future president takes you to task.
Then whats say we just round up the compensation to cover an 500.000 iranians.
I didn't know Bill Murray had a side gig in Iran.
lighten up.
They know the US is broke. The whole world except the US knows the US is broke. This guy is just being cheeky as in peeing in the letter slot then knocking on the door to ask how far up the hall it went.
