TEHRAN—In an astounding achievement for a first-time author, on Tuesday Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei nabbed the #1 spot on the New York Times bestsellers list with a business book entitled "The Art of the Deal."
The publicity materials provided by the publisher tout, “From the mind of a man who negotiated the sweetest deal in the history of the Middle East, learn how to fend off a hostile takeover—and win!”
“Don’t just be a leader,” the book jacket urges. “Be a Supreme one!”
Among the topics covered, the book “shows, in five easy steps, how to turn a tiny body of water into a money-spinning goldmine.”
An advance excerpt from the book’s first chapter begins, “Rule #1: Only negotiate with morons.”
