Ahmedinejad slapped by head of Revolutionary Guard, claims WikiLeaks cable
The Daily Mail ^ | 01/04/2011

The Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was slapped in the face by the head of the country's Revolutionary Guard, according to the latest WikiLeaks release.

The February 2010 cable, classified secret and puckishly headlined, 'He Who Got Slapped,' quotes an intelligence source recounting a contentious meeting.

Ahmedinejad had suggested new measures easing restrictions on the press to Iran's Supreme National Security Council.

The Iranian ruling body were trying to work out their response in the wake of Tehran's explosive pro-democracy street protests of 2009.

'Ahmadinejad claimed that "people feel suffocated" and mused that to defuse the situation it may be necessary to allow more personal and social freedoms, including more freedom of the press,' the cable says.

It continues, 'Ahmadinejad's statements infuriated Revolutionary Guard Chief of Staff Mohammed Ali Jafari, who exclaimed 'You are wrong! \it is YOU who created this mess! And now you say give more freedom to the press?!'

'Source said that Jafari then slapped Ahmadinejad in the face, causing an uproar,' the cable says.

“News” is a funny thing. Oh what people forget or don’t even realize. A quick search turns up a link from Dec. 1st discussing wikileaks and Tehran-Tom having been slapped. I’m not saying this to mock or deride you posting this. Rather it is pointed at the media at large rehashing month-old material.

What is really relevant to me however is that I know I’ve come across the “news”/information of some high-muckety Iranian official having been slapped by some other Iranian high-mucker several months ago - with zero mention of wikileaks.

Now I know/remember where I first saw the story. Gateway Pundit, Nov. 28th, 2010 - so it wasn’t several months but just over one. http://gatewaypundit.rightnetwork.com/2010/11/now-we-know-mahmoud-ahmadinejad-got-bitch-slapped-by-ali-jafari/

It must be slow in the news world to be rehashing information that’s been out for over a month - and the blogosphere has been punting the story around for the last week from the dates on the search term, “ahmedinejad slapped”.
