Been awhile since we’ve heard from Ahmadinnerjacket.

Via The Hill:

Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is asking President Obama to release nearly $2 billion in Iranian assets frozen in a New York bank account.

Ahmadinejad, who left office in 2013 but may be eyeing a new run for president next year, told Obama in a letter that the “property seizure” is “counter to all international legal principles and rules.” Continuing to withhold the money, Ahmadinejad added, could further deepen the “historical distrust” between the two nations.

“Your campaign slogan was ‘change,’” Ahmadinejad wrote to Obama in the letter, published on Monday by the private Tasnim News Agency. However “the same hostile policies along with the same trend of enmity were pursued,” he warned.

“I passionately advise you not to let the historical defamation and bitter incident be recorded under your name.”
