Iranian Ex-Official Supports Porn Star’s Stance On Israel
An advisor to former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says the Islamic Republic stands by anyone who fights against Israel, even if that person is a porn star.
An advisor to former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says the Islamic Republic stands by anyone who fights against Israel, even if that person is a porn star.
Abdolreza Davari, a former confidant of Ahmadinejad said in a message on X social platform “We stand by anyone who fights against Israel, even if that person is Mia Khalifa, a former porn star, who has now cleansed her record of [moral] corruption through her explicit support for the oppressed Palestinian people and her struggle against the crimes of the Zionists.”
Mia Khalifa is a Lebanese-American media personality and former adult film actress and webcam model. Born and raised in Lebanon, she and her family relocated to the United States in 2001. Her choice of career sparked controversy in the Arab world and beyond, particularly after the release of a video in which she appeared in a sex video while wearing a hijab. The scene brought her both immediate fame and criticism from writers and religious figures. In 2015, Khalifa was named the "Number 1 Porn Star" on Pornhub.
Khalifa has faced various controversies over her opinions on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. After the Hamas attack on Israel, she received backlash for a post on X in which she encouraged Palestinian militants to "flip their phones and film horizontally" after several videos emerged depicting Israeli civilians being killed. As a result, Playboy ended its association with Khalifa, and the Canadian broadcasting company Red Light Holland also terminated their contract with her.
