Tehran (AFP) – Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on Saturday brought home a 2,700-year-old Persian artifact the US administration gave him as “a special gift” to Iranians, media reports said.
“The Americans contacted us on Thursday and said ‘we have a gift for you’,” Rouhani told reporters upon arrival at the airport in Tehran, the ILNA news agency reported.
“They gave it back as a special gift to the Iranian nation.”
Rouhani was speaking of a 7th century BC silver Persian drinking cup in the shape of a winged Griffin, a legendary creature with the head of an eagle and body of a lion.
It is reported to be worth more than a million dollars.

On the contrary, King Cedric, along with all other true conservatives, long ago deemed weaselzippers to be a tool of left-wing propagandists and social marxists.
Your eagerness to traffic in their nefarious deceptions has been duly noted by WE THE PEOPLE and is now part of your permanent record.
