SAEDNEWS: Some users shared images claiming Haddad-Adel was kissing Farah Pahlavi’s hand — but what’s the real story?
According to the political news section of Saed News, citing Fars, former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad reacted to remarks by Gholam-Ali Haddad-Adel, who had stated that Ahmadinejad would not be approved to run in the upcoming elections. Ahmadinejad claimed that before the revolution, Haddad-Adel used to pay obeisance to Empress Farah.
In response, Haddad-Adel clarified: “The claims that I paid obeisance to Farah are pure lies, disgusting, and a scandalous narrative from which only our enemies benefit. Before the revolution, I had no connection with Farah’s office and never met her. Therefore, Ahmadinejad’s falsehood is evident.”
Meanwhile, images circulated on social media that some users attributed to Haddad-Adel before the revolution.
However, the original photo actually depicts Gholamreza Nikpey, then-mayor of Tehran, paying obeisance to Farah Pahlavi.
