Iranian media erupted on Wednesday with an unsubstantiated rumor that US Secretary of State John Kerry was not injured earlier this week in a simple fall from his bicycle in Switzerland, but rather he was the target of an assassination attempt while meeting with Islamic State terrorists.
The Iranian media has been known to report "conspiracy theories" in the past, such as a September report that Israel was spearheading a dangerous global plot to spread the Krav Maga martial art worldwide and a December report that Israel was building settlements in Iraq.
The latest Iranian report, first published by the Nasim news agency and subsequently picked up by dozens of Iranian news sites, based its information on "an American news website" which cites a Russian foreign intelligence service report as the source of the information.
According to the report in Nasim, Kerry secretly met with one of the leaders of Islamic State on Sunday. The meeting eventually led to an armed clash and an attempt to assassinate the US secretary of state.
Kerry's meeting, in which the alleged assassination attempt took place, was with Gulmurod Khalimov, a senior Tajik police commander, trained in the United States, who announced his defection to Islamic State in a video released last week, the report states.
Having received training from the US State Department previously, Khalimov was well aware of State Department security procedures and he used the knowledge to get another member of his entourage into the secret meeting with Kerry, with the intention of assassinating him, the report claims.
The report cited communications intercepted by Russian intelligence from France, the US and Switzerland as confirming that two other people were shot in the incident, one of them fatally.
The story of Kerry breaking his femur in a bicycle accident in Switzerland was then concoted to hide the real source of his "grave injuries," according to the report.
The Iranian government media has about as much credibility as the American government media...which is to say...NONE!
You’re confusing this with the Soviet assassination of Gen. Patton in 1945.
The Russians would’ve gotten the job done.
Hmmmm...it gets curiouser and curiouser.
It’s also possible that he actually broke his leg and that the secretary of state gets a lot of attention.
It’s also possible that Kerry is a weenie and when he fell off his bike he put the entire US military into action to coddle him home.
Why would a muslim want to off his biggest supporter in America? Meaning a member of the Obama Admin.
I was just thinking about this today - it would explan why he didn’t get treated at a local hospital (to hide the actual injuries), and why they used a C-17 to evacuate him (it can carry an entire emergency/trauma hospital on it if necessary).
We don’t even know if he’s alive. The LAST thing the Obama Administration would want Americans to see is that those nice, understanding Muslims assasinated out Secretary of State.
Especially since Obama is currently castigating Netanyahu for being “too worried” about being attacked.
And why would the assassinate their friend?
The curb immediately reported...."He's down".
Yeah, crashes and poison are their MO.
“Its also possible that Kerry is a weenie and when he fell off his bike he put the entire US military into action to coddle him home.”
That I can believe.
Good Point!
Karma for throwing his unearned Purple Heart over the White House fence.
One thing we know, Kerry will cash in another purple heart and end this tour of duty, if all is true.
An assassination attempt is possible, but I say he hit the curb with his bike. He’s probably embarrassed that he broke his leg bike riding, and is now making up the assassination story.
Yeah - sure.
Of course! They whisked him away to the best veterinary hospital in Switzerland.
Wonder how long before he applys for another purple heart!
