SAEDNEWS: The wedding of former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s son drew attention not for opulence but for its austerity—guests seated on the floor, no tables or chairs, and a group prayer led by the groom’s father.

No Chairs, No Fuss: Ahmadinejad Officiates Son’s Modest Wedding Amid Simplicity and Prayer

According to Saed News, the wedding of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s son, who married the daughter of his close political ally Esfandiar Rahim Mashaei, was marked by a tone of religious devotion and modesty unusual in ceremonies linked to prominent political families. Images from the gathering reveal a scene devoid of luxury: guests sat cross-legged on the ground, with no sign of typical banquet arrangements.

The most talked-about moment came at the close of the event, when Ahmadinejad, the former president of Iran, stepped forward to lead the congregation in communal prayer—an act interpreted by supporters as a gesture of humility and piety, and by critics as a carefully choreographed statement of ideological consistency.

Held without pomp or grandeur, the ceremony has sparked varied reactions. Some view it as a reflection of Ahmadinejad’s long-standing populist ethos, reinforced by his aversion to elite displays. Others suggest the simplicity was a strategic move to underscore his distance from Iran’s political aristocracy at a time when discontent with economic inequality is on the rise.

Either way, the former president’s unorthodox approach continues to distinguish him within Iran’s political landscape—reaffirming his image, for supporters, as a man of the people, and for detractors, as a master of populist theater.
