Iranian ambassador did not shake hands with Queen Letizia in Spain – Watch the video

Topic of discussion was made in Spain the fact that Iran’s ambassador to the country, Hassan Ghashghavi, did not give his hand to Queen Letitia. In fact, the video from the credentialing ceremony was widely circulated on the internet.

The ambassador appears to shake hands with King Felipe, but when it’s Queen Letitia’s turn, he settles for a greeting, placing his hand on his chest.

According to El Pais, since the 1979 Islamic revolution in Iran, men are not allowed to shake hands with women in public, which is why Ghashghavi avoided a formal greeting with Letitia.

During the ceremony, the King and Queen met with representatives of the 126 embassies residing in Spain.
