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.
“perhaps his helicopter was shot down and he had to flee for hisl ife alongside brian Williams and billary”
Or perhaps the UCI (Governing body of Professional Bicycling) Got tired of old men using steroids to enable them to complete category 4 climbs which makes the real racers look bad.
I must admit that if Kerry could climb that hill in a 39/26 gear ratio or even a compact 36/28 ratio that is pretty impressive; especially at his age. He is still a terrible SoS but I’ll give him props for for climbing that hill
Well there have been no pictures of the incident and it was supposed to be some sort of photoshoot.
I’m waiting for some important US politicians to “get a cold”. That’s how it was done in the old days. But not around here.
He was probably visiting a dairy, snuck off, and had an “accident” with the milking machine...
They would want the whole world to know they can assassinate at the highest levels in the White House. They don’t want friends.
Right, but they play a long game. They can see the chaos that Johnny and Barry are inflicting on the Great Satan’s ability to hurt the overall cause of islam. So I tend to think both would want to keep that train rolling.
This story is bogus.
Who would believe an assassination attempt on Kerry? The world is more peaceful now, and the world loves us more. Ask Obama, and he’ll tell you about that love and trust.
What difference, at this point, does it make?
My sister got a horse and it broke it’s leg, so I had to shoot it....and now it has a broken leg and a gunshot wound. I don’t know why your supposed to shoot it, maybe it promotes the healing process. If he’s not better by next week I’m going to shoot him again.”

Excellent point. I lose track sometimes of the internecine jihadi scorecard.
But he was in Cambodia on a swift boat when they claim he was with ISPigs.
“Kerry has security that is probably pretty close to what Obama has.”
True dat but I seriously doubt the competence of today’s Secret Service. Owebama has surrounded himself with fellow incompetents and considering recent headlines the SS is not immune from this.
As long as ya git `er done!
People’s always askin’ Kerry,
“Why the long face?”
Ya know why doncha?
It’s `cause he looks like Hermann Munster mounted Mr. Ed and said, “Squeal like a piggy Mr. Horsey.”
Yep, that’s it.
Why would they assassinate someone THIS STUPID
Has anyone considered the possibility he ran over Hillary’s server?
That was sort of my point. He is their friend and useful idiot
Now that is intersting.

My thoughts exactly. Why would anyone want to bother to assassinate this guy? For what purpose? He’s a useful idiot which is exactly what our enemies want. The mere fact that they seem okay with this guy riding around on a bike points to the fact that no one is too worried.
Nah, it’s just Kerry angling for another purple heart. He can keep it with the one he got for the sliver in his arse in Vietnam. Oh wait...didn’t he throw that one over a fence somewhere?
That I can believe. If Michelle gets flown to LA to do an aerobics class for an hour only to be flown back to DC, and Obama gets flown to LA to do the Jimmy Kimmel show and then flown back, Kerry gets to be flown on a C-17 for his booboo from clear around the world.
My theory of choice is that Kerry did have his bike accident whether staged or not as an excuse not to finish the negotiations that are falling apart. When they do fall apart Kerry gets to say that they fell apart because he was not there and had he been there there would have been a deal. This allows him to look like a hero with no downside to him.
That I can see that fat head saying this.
