The Patriot Post® · Obama Gives Fake 'Artifact' to Iran

The Obama administration recently gave a $1,000,000 gift to Iranian President Hassan Rouhani. The State Department called it a “7th century BC silver griffin-shaped ceremonial drinking vessel” which was most likely “looted from a cave in northwestern Iran.” Archaeologists, however, believe this “special gift” is a fake. “Not only is it a fake, it’s a bad fake,” says archaeologist Alex Joffe, who says the supposedly millennia-old cup is actually just 14 years old. Administration officials were reportedly unable to find the receipt from QVC. But of course, the biggest fake in this transaction is Obama.
