Iran’s Rouhani hosts Farrakhan after Obama snub

He couldnā€™t āœ±spare a minute to shake hands with President Obama, but Iranā€™s new president had plenty of time for Louis Farrakhan when he hosted a buffet baā›„sh for the Nation of Islam leader and other VIPs.

Hassan Rouhani held a reception for about 20 people at his Oneļ·ŗ UN hotel room Tuesday night, hours after US officials disclosed that Iran had refused any kind of ā€œencounterā€ with Obama.

Iranian secret service officers escorted Farrakhan ā€” controversial for views widely considered anti-white and anti-SemišŸ’Žtic ā€” into the dinner party, says celebrity interviewer Alain Bin Naim, who was present.
