Looks like not everyone in Iran is enamored with President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The holocaust-denying president was scheduled to visit Ahvaz, a city near the Iraqi border with a large Arab speaking population.
As Reuters reports, Ahmadinejad was scheduled to visit there on Tuesday, his office quickly announced the cancellation that trip, blaming--I'm not making this up--sandstorms.
A Lebanese pro-Hezbollah TV station is claiming Ahmadinejad was the target of the blasts, although as of this writing, no group is claiming responsibility for the bombing, which killed 8 people.
Even if he wasn't the target, not all is well in Iran. This is not the first bombing in Ahvaz.
