Even Iran’s mullahs have turned on Prince Harry

Is there anyone left who likes Prince Harry? His popularity is plunging, his allies have turned on him – and now even the mad mullahs of Iran have come out against him. Tehran’s butchers have managed to find time between atrocities to issue a public condemnation of the dilettante Duke of Sussex’s recent book Spare. Apparently it’s in poor taste.

Twitter may be banned under Iran’s internet censorship laws but that didn’t stop the country’s foreign ministry from firing off a series of tweets this morning, indignantly responding to Britain’s condemnation of the hanging of Alireza Akbari. In posts that read like the prose of a Disney villain, the Iranian government referenced Spare as proof of the decadent West’s hypocrisy:

The British regime’s uproar and the support of some European self-proclaimed defenders of human rights for London is only a sign of their evasion and violation of law… The British regime, whose royal family member, sees the killing of 25 innocent people as removal of chess pieces and has no regrets over the issue, and those who turn a blind eye to this war crime, are in no position to preach others on human rights.
