An Iranian official referred to U.S. president Barack Obama as “kaka siah”, a term used to translate the offensive word “nigger” in Persian Literature, according to an Iranian news agency.
Speaking at a gathering of the political organization Islamic Society of Engineers on Saturday, Mohammad Javad Larijani, a senior advisor to Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said when Obama first came to power, he spoke about dialogue and cooperation with Iran, but “what has happened that now this ‘kaka siah’ is talking about regime change in Iran?” Asr Iran reported.
“I’m not racist but I have to say something to this man [Obama],” he added.
Mohammad Javad Larijani is the brother of Ali Larijani, Speaker of Parliament, and Sadegh Larijani, the head of Iran’s judiciary. He is also a former member of parliament and deputy foreign minister. He is now an advisor to the supreme leader and also the secretary of the judiciary’s human rights office.
