A British Iranian film-maker is fundraising for families of terror group Hezbollah, whose fighters he has described as “brave men”.
Dr Reza John Vedadi, a media commentator who has appeared on the Iranian state-owned Press TV, said on social media that he was raising money for families whose “sons, husbands and fathers fought and gave their lives and limbs” in Lebanon.
Vedadi, who has addressed Islamic and Iranian student societies at several leading London universities, also memorialised the late “Butcher of Tehran” Ebrahim Raisi as a “martyr”, sharing an image of the late Iranian president sweeping snow with his servants.
The film-maker, who researches the representation of Muslims in Hollywood, previously described fighters in Yemen and Lebanon as “brave men”.
