Iran’s president office rejects appointing officials with dual citizenship
By Trend
The office of Iranian president, Hassan Rouhani has issued a letter
responding to claims about appointing officials with dual
citizenship on high-rank posts in the country.
The office has rejected some Iranian MPs’ claims that one of the
senior officials in the office has dual citizenship, the website of
Iran’s president reported Jan. 28.
Earlier at least 13 MPs send a letter to Rouhani and warned him
about appointing officials with dual citizenship to government
posts.
The MPs claimed that one of the senior officials of presidential
office has American citizenship.
However the MPs did not mention the name of the official, but it
seems that they are referring to Mohammad Nahavandian, Rouhani’s
Chief of Staff.
“Government officials should not state oath of allegiance under
foreign flags", the MPs letter reads.
The president office accused the MPs of publishing the letter
without any investigation or inquiry.
The claim is similar to outlets of some radical media in the US
which are linked to Israel, the president office said.
