Obviously, Iran is in no position the claim diplomatic immunity, as they were pioneers in the violation it.
This is pretty good. I think this fits in with Baker's panel. They wanted us to talk to Iranians, now we're talking to Iranians. Maybe we could talk to some Syrians too.
They have a lot of chutzpah to complain about a breach of diplomatic protocol/status.
