"Me, calling to bomb Iran?," exclaimed the king when asked about the remark allegedly made by him, "Never! Never would I wish such thing on our dearest and most respected neighbor".
"Yes, I remember mentioning a snake when drinking tea on the porch with the American Ambassador and assorted generals. A snake appeared and I told my favorite eunuch to cut its head off in no uncertain terms. This is what, most probably, caused the misunderstanding."
Update: there is another version king Abdullah issued later, but it's related to a specific symbolic meaning of the word "snake" and to some personal and rather private bits of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the action proposed by the king. I would prefer to skip the details, since it causes me bouts of blushing that could be unhealthy, I am told.

I know the Elders have been trying to keep this a secret. But it's really too funny, along with the practical aspects of the Stuxnet worm:

Wow! That's a real tee hee situation here!
Ooh err. but isn't it usual to have one's enemy's head mounted,,,,
Er... this issue will haunt the poor King now.
Maybe the King meant to say that Ahamadinejad needed to be given a shave and a decent set of clothes.
Could be, but he said "Cut ... snake... off", and I am blushing again to fill in the spaces.
