TEHRAN, Iran — Iranian officials on Tuesday demanded an apology from the Obama administration before they would even consider any U.S. request to return a surveillance drone that Iran captured earlier this month.
“President Obama should not forget that that the Iranian airspace was clearly violated by the U.S. drone, and therefore the U.S. should first apologize for that,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said Tuesday.
Any apology by the Obama administration over the drone flight would be a major propaganda success for Iran’s leaders, who face increasingly tough U.S.-designed sanctions.
