Iran affirms that it informed Casa Real that the ambassador would not greet Queen Letizia at the reception

The embassy of iran has justified that his responsible will not greet Queen Letizia during a reception at the Royal Palace in which they informed the Zarzuela of what would happen when they received the invitation.

In a statement, those responsible for the Embassy maintain that they notified the Royal House that “the Ambassador will come alone and as on other occasions, we remind you that Due to protocol issues, you cannot shake hands with Her Majesty the Queen“In this sense, they criticize the commotion produced after transcending the images in which the diplomat denies greeting Queen Letizia.

“This situation has an explanation absolutely religious and it never means disrespecting the position or figure of a woman”, they defend.

In addition, they stress that “Iranian ambassadors also present their credentials to the leaders of other countries on the same basis; greeting them in the Iranian manner of protocol.” “This fact has never been considered as a ‘contempt’ of Iranian diplomats towards heads of government or state of the countries where they are assigned, by the press of those countries,” they deplore.

In addition, as a climax, they defend that in the next trip to Iran by journalists to cover the 44th anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution, the reporters will be able to verify the improvement of the situation of women in the country.
