"Iraqi official was greeted in Washington with ..... Iranian flags"


The Commerce Department chief of protocol left the job September 19, to work on a political campaign. A tipster tells POLITICO the departure occurred after a visiting Iraqi official was greeted with not Iraqi flags but Iranian ones, but the information could not immediately be confirmed.

Reached by POLITICO, the former Commerce protocol official declined comment except to say no such incident occurred under his watch, which ran from June 22 to September 19. If one occurred, which he didn't know about, it occurred perhaps before.

Does Commerce even have Iranian flags? ..."
