A journalist was attacked on Wednesday evening in New York City by an official who was part of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi’s camp, a news channel has alleged.
Iran International correspondent Kian Amani was filming outside the Millennium Hilton New York One UN Plaza Hotel and reporting on Raisi’s “entourage” leaving when the incident happened, the Iran International news channel said in a statement Thursday. “The entourage of Iran’s president attacked, harassed and insulted Iran International journalists covering Ebrahim Raisi’s stay in New York,” Iran International alleged.
The woman says, “Don’t touch him,” and the men, who Iran International says were security guards, push the official away from Amani and back behind the barrier. CNN has reached out to the Iranian Foreign Ministry for comment, but it has yet to respond. The State Department’s deputy special envoy for Iran, Abram Paley, said, “Such behavior is unacceptable,” in a statement on X, formerly known as Twitter, Wednesday afternoon.
