How do you say "Heh" in Farsi?

Gateway Pundit:

Forget Israel, with spiraling inflation and unemployment Iranian President Ahmadinejad may be the one wiped off the map!

Critics say that Ahmadinejad and the central government have been strong on populist slogans but weak on achievement.

Iranian inflation holds steady at a miserable 15% according to Iranian central bank but experts say it is much higher... The government puts unemplyment at 10 per cent but economists say it could be as high as 30 per cent. The government also says inflation is 11 per cent, but experts estimate it at 30 per cent!

Just for the record, I paid a buck ninety-five for unleaded this afternoon, Mahck-mood.
