Shoe Thrown at Iran President on Return Home after Obama Call

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: A shoe was thrown at Iranian President Hassan Rouhani's car Saturday as he arrived home to a mixed reception for his historic call with Barack Obama.

Some 75 hardline Islamists chanted "Death to America" and "Death to Israel" as Rouhani's motorcade drew out of Tehran's Mehrabad Airport.

Eggs were also hurled at the Iranian president as members of his security team tried to shield him with an umbrella.

The incident comes amid an apparent softening of Iran's stance toward the West including the United States under President Rouhani, which has angered some hardliners in Iran. » | Andrew Marszal, agencies | Saturday, September 28, 2013
