An investigation by the narcotics division of the French police revealed that the Middle East is once again taking the place of the “Golden Triangle” (Thailand—Hong Kong—Singapore) as Europe's leading supplier of drugs.
The investigators place the blame on... Ayatollah Khomeini: Iran is increasingly taking a central place in smuggling, which passes through Turkey. According to French police estimates, 800 tons of raw morphine are now in Iran. These quantities are ready for export and threaten Europe. The reason for Iran's entry into the “industry” is the ban Khomeini imposed on drug use in his country. The ban does not apply to drug exports, and the obedient citizens send them out. The Ayatollah said—it must be done.
And so, instead of oil, Iran turns to exporting drugs. This wise policy of the ruler of the Islamic Republic may, without a doubt, be a major factor in the renewed flourishing of his ruined country's economy, and also, of course, a bridge to understanding with the European consumers.
