Christiane Amanpour, shown in 2018, said her interview with Iran's president was canceled when she refused to wear a headscarf.An interview between CNN's Chief International Anchor Christiane Amanpour and Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi was abruptly canceled because Amanpour declined to wear a hijab, she recounted on Twitter.
Iran's state news agency did not elaborate on the reason for the sudden cancelation, but blamed Amanpour"because of refusing protocol." The protocol, it said,"is being determined by the guest."
Not your country a$$hat!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
I suspect those who think this was disrespectful are the same people who would be appalled at the idea of curtseying to British royalty.
Before or after she gave them a 150 billion, thanks barak
Good job! Don’t do it if you don’t feel like it.👏
In America, you are American first and foremost.
Or, she could've worn the hijab. Just the hijab. Hilarity ensues.
Did Hunter arrange a meeting for Raisi with the Big Guy?
Not one person on the planet is obligated to abide by the personal set of rules that You choose to live by.
Him first
Good for her!
One🖕two🖕for Iran!!!
No way! Iranian leaders are so rational and modern. This is a shock.
The media loves to make themselves the heroes
Amanpour knew the interview required a headcovering. This is a political stunt, not journalism.
How can a few old farts who wear their underwear on their heads who are backward, uneducated losers govern a Great Nation & their people. Long live the people of Iran !
Christiane should have asked Raisi to take off his hat indoors.
How does he get around here? Do they kit him up with blinders or a VR headset that uses AI technology to superimpose a hijab on all the women that they walk past? Sounds very crippling.
How about an Unknown Comic paper bag? Would that work?
Good. It’s time to stop pretending subjugation of women is a religious thing.
Lmao! He thought he could enforce his bs here! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why are muslim men so weak that the sight of a woman's hair or other body part makes them lose control ?
So wear one anyway. Good grief. It's on their religious grounds; you want the interview?
Maybe women in Iran should demand men wear a court jester hat before they can get the cookie.
That’s their rules take it or not.
Kiki did the right thing! She Was on U.S. soil. IF she was in Iran, she would've Respected Their customs - as she has in the past!
eileen_sh
America didn’t want to hear it anyway.
It is a choice, BUT if you don’t wear it I am not coming! Don’t these men realise that they are in a new century where your lies will find you out!
This is not his county. What audacity. 😡
Just don't waste any time to step into the Islamic world, they don't want to be touched, anyway.
Shes so powerful,,
Good for her. Principles over ratings. Refreshing to see.
Incredibly disrespectful
IDK what a hijab is. Is that the muslim misogyny head wrap. Like the one that Somali US Rep., immigration fraudster, who married her gay brother, wears.
Setting aside current events in Iran - this was a very normal request for CNN to receive, and historically Western reporters have worn some form of head covering when interviewing statesman from nations with a Islamic government.
What, new CNN head didn't force her to both side this?
A first... why now... what changed 🤔
She fails to understand that he may have gotten horny for her.
Not being willing to speak to someone because they won’t put some fabric on their head is so absurd that it almost makes religion seem not based in logic and reason.
An that is too bad. There is probably more integrity in Christiane Amanpour than in any 5 men President Ebrahim Raisi has ever met.
Good for her.
FuckIran
🤬u🤬k Irans president. ❤️❤️❤️amanpour
Next interview she should wear one but he must wear a Hijab.
When I refused to wear a mask, I was told it's just a harmless piece of cloth what's the big deal...
Guess he didn't get the 'when in Rome' memo.
Good for you, Christiane!
Good for her.
{{{yawnnnn}}}
Even in NY they want you to wear it?!?!?
I know we all probably might have heard about Bitcoin but don't know how it works, I tried it in a week ago by a man who recommended me to Derrick_wright3 on Twitter he guides me through and i made a return of $10500 after a week of trading, connect with him
Another Amanpour lie, I'm sure.
Put those women back to the kitchen please
Good for her!✊️
What did he do in New York - walk around with a blind fold on all day? Or just keep himself surrounded by a group of men, so all he could see was the back of their heads?
Could the recent events in Iran be the start of a new series of reforms and change? If not, how much longer can the regime hold onto power?
Thank God, she wasn’t killed for it. 🤬
All leftards are so confused especially Indian commies, leftists media outlets don't know whether to support Iranian women (to remove hijab) or support indian Muslim women to wear it!!!
Good for her
But why is this news? Did we just become aware of the rules on Iran?
She was in our country, so her call. She has demonstrated to wear headscarves while in countries that require women to cover their hair. She is right on her stand in this case.This guy is a fuddy-duddy, scaredy-cat dictator. All I can say is oh please, get a life.
🔶Skip the hijab and skip the interview. Their whole head covering idea came from a 👉Jewish story and a Jewish woman, Eve in the garden of Eden. Not Muslim, not Christian, or Budda. It's man over woman period! With an Eve excuse!
Trump was right.
She should have put a paper bag on her head like the Unknown Comic and done hijab jokes. Ebra would have cracked up.
Good for her.
Good for her!!!
Good for her! 👏👏👏
What you do is wear one, and when he walks in, cap him 🔫🔫💥💥
Double standard wearing hijab while interviewing Taliban Siraajudin deputy leader on women rights Haqqani CNN kindly asks Christine why she covered her head both counties practicing Sharia law interpretation “ wearing hijab for a Muslim woman is not a choice it’s an obligation “
Religion poisons the brain 🧠
Didn’t Mike Pence require that too? And a chaperone?
And this is the similar type of insanity Christo-fascists are trying their hardest to bring here to the US.
Trumpians will have her wearing one soon.
Remember that time when BHO bowed down.
She ought have worn a football helmet just to piss off Raisi,...and the U.S. should not give Iran a penny for any deal concerning the nukes they already possess
If Christiane declined wearing a hijab why didn't Raisi wear a fking BLINDFOLD if there are things he doesn't want to see. Misogyny dude.
Not sure why she refused. I'm a Clarissa Ward fan, and she dresses in whatever way she needs to in order to go in and get her story. She's been in Syria, Afghanistan, Ukraine, etc. Granted, Raisi's request is sexist, but 'when in Rome...'
GOOD FOR HER!!!!
Good Christiane … the right move Integritymatters
Iranians take their fairytales tales seriously.
justice4all01 Thank you! These radical autocratic men need to understand when in the United States, women will not abide by their arbitrary tules! In the US we strive to make women equal.
We should overthrow their government because of this insult!
She should have told him-you first! A man intimidated by a woman refusing to comply to his orders proves just how cowardly he is. Every man should remain powerless over the choices of any being other than themselves. christianeamanpour
Control of women. Just like the GOP does.
I know we all probably might have heard about Bitcoin but don't know how it works, I tried it in a week ago by a man who recommended me to Derrick_wright3 on Twitter he guides me through and i made a return of $10500 after a week of trading, connect with him
Good for Amanpour! Do not give these tyrants a voice.
That's Islam for ya. Glad to see Amanpour learning a valuable lesson about where the problem actually starts.
He obviously had nothing of import to say.
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 Now she is experienced enough to know this is what is expected
Islam
She has worn them in countries where it is tradition, but not in NY where there is no tradition/requirement. Yet another example of IranMisogyny
Of course Raisi canceled the interview. His security forces are shooting & murdering protesters on the streets as we speak. Over 40 people dead in the last few days . . .
As a hijabi myself, I applaud her for not wearing it for the interview. No man should ever request or force a woman to wear it because of them. Her body, her choice.
Cool!
She consistently speaks truth to power. Thank God for real journalism. Thank you .amanpour
Good. CNN sucks but not as much as Iran. Or NPR.
Christiane you a gangster! 👊
Hijabs are silly.
