Iranian Officials Accuse Kim Kardashian of Being a Secret Agent Working to Corrupt Young People and Women: Report
The
Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corp – an organization tasked with
protecting the country’s Islamic system and preventing foreign
interference – has reportedly accused Kardashian West, 35, of working
with Instagram as part of a complicated ploy to corrupt the Islamic
republic’s lifestyle, targeting “young people and women” with
provocative photos depicting a lifestyle at odds with Islam.
According to a report from Iran Wire,
a news website run by a group of Iranian journalists, the Organized
Cyberspace Crimes Unit of the Revolutionary Guards targeted Kardashian
West during an Iranian news program Sunday night.
“Ms.
Kim Kardashian is a popular fashion model so Instagram’s CEO tells her,
‘Make this native,’ ” a spokesman for the unit, Mostafa Alizadeh,
reportedly said. “There is no doubt that financial support is involved
as well. We are taking this very seriously.”
While talking to People
in Cannes, Kardashian said the accusations were news to her, as well:
“What? For who?” she said of the claims. “I just landed and came here
[from the airport]. I have not heard that one. Thanks for the heads-up.”
According
to the report, Alizadeh claimed the aim of Instagram’s CEO Kevin
Systrom is to make fashion modeling native to Iran and that Kardashian
West is implementing his scheme for him. (Kardashian’s paternal
grandparents immigrated to the United States from Armenia, which shares a
border with Iran.)
“They
are targeting young people and women,” Alizadeh said, according to Iran
Wire. “Foreigners are behind it because it is targeting families. These
schemes originate from around the Persian Gulf and England. When you
draw the operational graph, you will see that it is a foreign
operation.”
The
actions and statements are part of the OCCU’s long-running effort to
combat “modeling and vulgarity” and illicit Instagram and Facebook
usage, cracking down on “secret supporters and operators of Instagram”
allegedly attempting to subvert the “Islamic Iranian lifestyle,” reports
Iran Wire.
Several
women in Iran have reportedly been arrested, and Iran Wire reports
Javad Babaee, supervisor of the Prosecutor’s Office for Media Crimes,
also appeared during the Iranian news program and announced they have
already warned 170 individuals, 29 of whom are being targeted for
prosecution.
“Our aim is to teach them a lesson and make them wake up,” Babaee reportedly said.
At least some of the targeted Instagram accounts remain online, including the pages of Elnaz Golrokh and Hamid Fadaei, though their owners have left Iran.
