If the West is truly
Satan's playground... as so many of the folks in the Iranian government are always saying... why would you be
bragging this up in the first place?
-- TEHRAN -- Iran's parliament has voted to sack Interior Minister Ali Kordan after he admitted a degree he said he obtained from Oxford University was a forgery.
Mr Kordan said he had received the doctoral certificate in good faith, but it was later revealed as a crude fake.
Never let it be said though, that the Iranians are a humourless people...
The scandal has made the former minister a national laughing stock, with a fake resignation letter being passed round purporting to be from him, but full of misprints and crossings-out.
One MP said Mr Kordan - who worked as a university lecturer - had related invented tales to his students about his days in Oxford.
In fact he has never visited and does not even have a first degree.
