How come the Iranian President Mahmoud Admandinejad never wears a tie?

Question

some say because he is against western dress style. but he is wearing a suit jacket....doesnt make sense

I just found a good article seems like a political issue

This issue goes back to the immediate aftermath of the 1979 Revolution. Before the revolution, all public figures in Iran and all officials wore ties, both domestically and when on visits abroad. Shortly after the revolution however, the tie itself began being associated with "Western imperialism", especially after
Ayatollah Khomeini branded a large group of intellectuals (who were less religiously zealous than he would have liked) as "tie-wearing cronies of the West" and essentially branded anyone wearing a tie as being Western influenced. As such, no Iranian official since that time wears a tie, whether in Iran or when on official trips abroad. In fact, for many years after the revolution, the site of a regular person wearing a tie in Iran was so rare that heads would turn on the street and funny comments would be made if someone wore a tie outside.

Answer 1

The abandonment of the necktie is a political statement adopted by the revolutionary movement in Iran upon the ouster of the Pahlavi family in 1979. It's thought to have a connection with Christian holy symbols (and if they knew how closely connected the necktie is with Christian liturgical vestments, the practice would likely be universal in Islam by now).

Answer 2

The guy is only 5 feet 4 inches tall. If he wore a tie, it would hang somewhere around his knees and make even more of a clown than he already is. Anyway, there are some books out now by various authors. What scares me is that they all come to the same conclusion - this cat is scarier than Hitler.

Answer 3

Because nobody in his support group can figure out how to tie one, and the Republicans have bought up all the clip-ons for next years convention.

Answer 4

OMG! Call People Weekly! I am sure he will make all the worst dressed lists!

The guy wants to build a nuclear arsenal and we are debating his motives for not wearing a tie? Makes sense to me.

Answer 5

Dear style-conscious one,

I believe his tie suffered a similar fate as mine...

The last time I saw my two remaining ties, they were affixed onto the bed posts.

Let's just say, ole Mahmoud has been a very naughty boy, lately. His secret safety phrase is "nuclear reactor" and has been highly misinterpreted, by his Mossad lover, Mistress Lox.

Signed,

Tied up in Tehran

Answer 6

He's an Iranian and ties are really not part of their attire.
Lot's of folks wear coats with no tie for a casual look,also.

Answer 7

employing fact he's a bum. Too undesirable he does no longer positioned on a tie, lest somebody can use it to cling him with it. he's evil and helps gays to be killed in his u . s . a . for being gay. he's likewise grotesque as sin.

Answer 8

They are right, a tie is seen as a western cultural style. Don't ask me why wearing a suit jacket is not

Answer 9

Two theories:
1) His dad never showed him how to tie one and clip ons are hard to find in Iran.
2) He felt he would look too Jewish with one.

Answer 10

He likes that laid back look. He likes the casual Friday look.

It shows that you don't have to dress in Armani to lead

Who knows

The guy is like an angry retard with a crazy army so they let him dress how ever he wants to
