Add “ungrateful” to the list of adjectives for the Islamic extremists in Iran. Russia is building Iran’s nuclear program and has defended the rogue nation at the U.N.S.C., and this is the thanks Vladimir gets? Pfft.

MOSCOW (AP) – Russian President Vladimir Putin has been told about a plot to assassinate him during a visit to Iran this week, a Kremlin spokeswoman said Sunday.

The spokeswoman, who spoke on customary condition of anonymity, refused further comment.

Interfax news agency, citing a source in Russia’s special services, said suicide terrorists had been trained to carry out the assassination.

Iran is, of course, furiously denying, but last we heard from Ahmadinejad he was claiming there are no gays in Iran, either.
