It’s satire but it rings of truth:

We are in great admiration of Sen. Cruz. In our republic, he would be an Ayatollah Uzma. We appreciate his signature on your letter and his steadfastness in correcting your president. Many of us were dismayed to learn that Sen. Cruz was criticized in your country for withholding the government’s operating funds in order to block the implementation of a health care law. Some Americans even called the senator a hostage taker.

We also very much admire the principal author of your letter, Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas. Sen. Cotton, like many of our young militiamen, served in combat in Iraq and believes that he is an instrument of God. Some may consider him too young to assert dominion over your country’s foreign policy, at 37 years of age and with only two years of political experience. But we in Iran appreciate his vigor. He reminds us of the young men who seized your embassy here in 1979, two years after he was born. Those brave young revolutionaries did not wait for guidance from their elders.

    Way to go TP/GOP nice to know that you are appreciated by Mullahs! You all worked very hard to gain their approval. May I ask when all of you are going to leave the USA and head where you are most appreciated?

    I dunno. Seems like the Mullahs were talking down to Tehran Tom and the traitor 47. They tried to find something to praise them for, albeit nominal, and pointed out their juvenile and clumsy behavior as gently as possible…..sort of like a really good special Ed. teacher.

    Time and again satire is found to be more revealing and accurate than actual events. This could very well be one of those times.
