The Republican candidates for U.S. president who are attacking the nuclear deal with Iran could hardly find the country on a map, or know that Tehran is the capital, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani told CNN's Christiane Amanpour on Sunday.
"Sometimes when I would have time, some of it was broadcast live and I would watch it -- some of it was quite laughable. It was very strange, the things that they spoke of," he said through an interpreter.
"Some of them wouldn't even know where Tehran was in relation to Iran. Some of them didn't know where Iran was geographically, not distinguishing that one is the capital of the other."
"So what they spoke of was quite far away from the truth. So the people of Iran were looking at it as a form of entertainment, if you will, and found it laughable."
The U.S. Congress failed to block the implementation of a deal between Iran and six world powers that trades curbs on Iran's nuclear program for the elimination of many sanctions that have been placed on the country.

So true.
If that was real, it would be sad. But I wouldn’t be so shocked if it was real.
Apologist for radical Islam?
Napping in her widdo Kitty Basket?
You don’t need to know where Iran is, or what it’s capital is to understand that they want to kill us and make is submit. It looks like Amanpour would like to see that.
The Iranian President has been meeting with Republicans?
The only Americans he’s been meeting with are Democrats. They can’t even use maps.
And when cops put out an “Armed and Dangerous” APB, when they do it, they can’t locate the perp they’re looking for on a map either - doesn’t mean the APB warning should go out...
These hanky heads sure like talking smack. When it comes time to throw down, we’ll see how they do
Hey Rouhani, I'm just a nobody, but I was on your border back in 1978. I would have loved to reached out and touched you.
Oh, and Hassan, I know where your capital city is located.
