PBS is reporting (via Jim Hoft ) that a high-level Iranian official who comes from one of the most prominent and powerful families in Iran, used the "N" word to describe our president:
Mohammad Javad Larijani criticized the policies adopted by U.S. President Barack Obama and referred to him using a racial epithet. "When Barack Obama was sworn into office he talked of verbally engaging Iran," the U.C. Berkeley graduate was quoted as saying. "What has changed is that today this [the equivalent of the N-word in Farsi] talks of regime change in Iran."
In a Saturday meeting at the Islamic Engineers Society, Larijani said, "I am not a racist, but I must respond to this man [Obama] in some way."
Larijani's brother, Ali, is the speaker of Majles (Parliament). Another brother, Sadegh, is head of the judiciary.
Ali Larijani was the top Iranian nuclear negotiator with the west until he resigned a couple of years ago. He is now Speaker of the Majlis and one of two personal representatives of Khamenei to the legislative body. His brother Javad is also a high level advisor to Khamenei and a big shot in the Iranian nuclear program.
No doubt Iranian apologists will say that this kind of the thing is aimed at the Iranian people and should be ignored. But if anyone wants any evidence of exactly how the clerical elite views our president, this is a pretty good indication that they have no respect and nothing but contempt for Obama.

Barry, say sorry again and tell them their comment is really your fault.
I lived overseas for 8 years and let me tell ya, American isn’t racist. Almost everywhere I went to had grotesque depictions of Africans and others. It doesn’t surprise me.
Uh oh...NOW the iranians have gone and pissed off the democrats...
Maybe the Iranian watched too much of Mel Brooks’ “Blazing Saddles.”
Ok I will say it. Bush’s fault.
Maybe Barry will apologize for his skin color. Another thing that he had nothing to do with, yet for which he’s willing to apologize.
What is the Farsi equivalent of “nigger”? And could we use that as a substitute, instead of the idiotic “n-word”?
As long as black people can call one another “nigger,” or use the word in their “music,” it’s deranged for regular people to be unable to describe what someone else has said.
Of course since black africans in the horn of africa are still enslaved by muslims, AND the muslims have enslaved millions more blacks than America ever did, this should not be surprising.
Probably the closest term is kaffir or kafir. More info here...

Maybe it should be allowed as you say. I do believe Cosby and Prior said AA’s should not use the word many still do. My claim is if someone calls me Redneck, Cracker, Whitey,etc. then expect it back!
Racists, all.
He called him a NON-RESIDENT?
OH my GOD,
Someone used the N word to describe the, “magic Nigro”?
Oh my!!!!!!!
Grow the hell up.
Maybe barry will retort by calling him a ‘sand “N”-word’.
Reid can get away with it, why not the mullahs?
“Maybe barry will retort by calling him a ‘sand “N”-word’.”
I’ve heard them referred to as the S-A-N-D niggers...which is a lot funnier when you hear it than when you write it...
