(ANSA) - WASHINGTON, 22 SEPT - Iranian President EbrahimRaisi refused an interview with CNN at the last minute because the famous journalist Christiane Amanpour refused to wear the veil.
The same Iranian-born journalist and war correspondent said she was supposed to interview the Iranian leader.
"I believe - explained the reporter - that he does not want to be seen with a woman without a veil at the moment when protests are raging in his country" for the death of Mahsa Amini, the 22-year-old who died after being arrested by the moral police in Tehran because she did not wear the veil correctly.
