FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Leading the onslaught, Hossein Shariatmadari, editor-in-chief of Keyhan
newspaper – widely thought to reflect the views of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei,
Iran’s supreme leader – called the film’s storyline “a patent
insult to Iranian Muslim women” that played into the west’s hands.
“Is the symbol of Iranian Muslim women a girl who takes part in
international rally races?” he wrote in a front-page editorial. “Is
participation in rally racing really a sign of modernity? Aren’t these
symbols exactly the same ones that the US and its allies wish for Iran and
didn’t the Islamic revolution put an end to this wish? Why should we spend
from the nation’s pocket to fulfil the destructive patterns and
gone-with-the-wind fantasies of the wild west?”
He also accused Niknejad of making “obscene sex films” in Hollywood,
citing his role as co-executive producer of several episodes of “The
Red Shoe Diaries”, an erotic drama screened by the US cable network,
Showtime, in the 1990s.
Javad Shamaghdari, the head of Iran’s state-run cinema organisation, said the
film would counter the negative portrait of Iran painted by Hollywood
productions, which depicted the escape of a real-life American woman, Betty
Mahmoodi, from the country.
Officials in Iran’s Documentary and Experimental Film Centre, which will
spearhead the production, have reportedly held talks with companies in
Cannes and Canada about participating in the project. They say they have
resisted pressure for Ms Seddigh’s role to be played by a Hollywood actress.
