Denims Put-Down: Iranians taunt Netanyahu over jeans blunder (VIDEO)

The Israeli Prime Minister has unwittingly turned a public relations onslaught to win over the Iranian public, into something of a farce.

It's the first time he's tried speaking directly to the people of Iran in more than two decades in top-level politics - and it's backfired a bit.

Doctor Mohammad Hassan Khani from Imam Sadiq University says the gaffe shows a big gap in the Israeli Prime Minister's knowledge of Iran.
