Iran’s President Ibrahim Raisi is in New York these days to attend the United Nations General Assembly. During this, he was to be interviewed on Wednesday with anchor Christine Emanpour in the international news channel CNN. But he could not be interviewed. President Ibrahim had placed a condition in front of Christine to interview her wearing a hijab. Christine denied the President’s point and said that there is no such rule here. This was the reason why the interview could not take place.

According to the information, Christine Emanpour is an Iranian woman. She grew up in the capital, Tehran. She is an anchor in CNN and is a Persian speaker. On being interviewed wearing the president’s hijab, Christine said that when she was reporting in Iran, she used to wear hijab to comply with the law and customs there.

Christine said – there are no rules in the country where I am
Christine said that she is now in a country where there are no rules for wearing a hijab for interviews. She politely told the President that she would not wear a hijab to an interview with any Iranian official. She said that since 1995 she has interviewed many people but she was not asked to wear the hijab.

Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi said that the interview would take place only when the anchor came wearing a hijab.

These rules since the Islamic Revolution in Iran
According to Iranian law, all women are required to cover their heads and wear loose clothing in public. This rule was implemented in Iran after the 1979 Islamic Revolution, which is mandatory for every woman in the country. It also includes tourists, political figures and journalists.
