The office for Ayatollah Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani denied that he would be closing his social media accounts after criticism for a tweet.
The office for Ayatollah Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani denied that the chairman of the Expediency Council would be suspending all of his social media activities after Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei publicly criticized his tweet on Iran’s missile program.
“Unfortunately, in the last few days untrue articles and news was published quoting an anonymous advisor to Ayatollah Hashemi Rafsanjani in the media,” read the statement from Rafsanjani’s office April 6. The statement continued that any comments attributed to an adviser to Rafsanjani anonymously and without a full name is unreliable, and if any advisor does make a comment to the media, it is their own personal opinion and not related to Rafsanjani.
