The Persians are Coming, the Persians are Coming!

A somewhat wry story in the Washington Post notes that Washington has been warning for months about the fact that Iran is building a huge new embassy in Managua, Nicaragua, except that it isn't. A Congressman compared it to Russian funding of Cuba, but Cuba was getting a million dollars a day in mid-2oth century dollars, and Iran's not that flush. Abu Muqawama comments on the story as well.
