Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Baghae: US officials blaming Iran for rising fuel prices makes it seem as if the public's memory is so short that they'll forget who started this war of aggression, whose actions created this crisis that ultimately led to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the disruption of commercial shipping. However, this is nothing new. In 1939, Hitler also packaged his invasion of Poland as a "defensive action." When the instigator of an illegal "selective war" turns around and blames the victims for its consequences, should this be seen as "strategic brilliance," or merely a textbook symptom of "The March of Folly"?
