Iran Propaganda Special: US Soldiers, Bitter Chocolate, & the Prophet Muhammad

Jahan News has an exclusive report from its top investigative journalists: "A Bitter Blow to Islam with Sweet and Bitter Chocolate!"

What could this be? Well, apparently US soldiers at the Shamsi base in the Kharan District of Pakistani Baluchistan have been handing out selections of chocolates to Pakistani children.

Some of the chocolates are the sweet milk variety, but some are dark and bitter. And those bitter chocolates are the ones wrapped in labels imprinted with the name of the Prophet Muhammad, leaving the children with a "bad taste".

The chocolates, according to Jahan News, are making their way across their border into Iran.

(Shamsi has been one of the main bases for American unmanned drones and their missiles. The secret facility was "outed" by a story in The Times of London in 2009. Pakistan had claimed in 2006 that the US military had left. In January 2010 a US military official said that Shamsi is the only base in Pakistan still used by American forces.

None of these stories refer to chocolate.)
