Iran sends toy drone to Obama

Iran is sending a US drone it captured in December home - with a small makeover.

Mocking requests to return the drone, a local toy company plans to send a miniature pink model of the RQ-170 Sentinel to US President Barack Obama.

Seyyed Saeed Hassan-pour, head of the cultural department of the Aaye Company, which is making the toy , says, "We wanted for Mr. Obama himself to have these toys and know that Iranians don't leave anyone's requests unanswered. We made the 'RQ' in pink as it is Mr. Obama's favourite colour and we will send it to him via the Swiss embassy."

State TV broadcast footage of the drone draped in anti-American banners after it was captured last month near the Afghan border.

Iran's Foreign Ministry complained to the UN Security Council about the spy mission and told the US to apologize.

A “pink” one?! I’d say the Iranians have Obama’s number.
