It was not rude or rude: this was the reason why the Iranian ambassador refused to shake hands with Queen Letizia of Spain

A few days ago, an incident that occurred in the Spanish Royal House caused controversy, after the Iranian ambassador, Hassn Ghashghavi, during the greeting to King Felipe VI, failed to extend his hand to Queen Letizia of Spain.

The gesture made by the diplomat generated visible discomfort in the queen, according to images released through social networks.

According to the Spanish newspaper The worldthe reason is because since the triumph of the 1979 Islamic revolution in Iran, men cannot shake hands with women in public.
