Rouhani, along Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and others in his government, took the subway and other mass transit in Tehran to work Monday. It was part of their effort to mark “National Clean Air Day.”
Rouhani spoke to male and female passengers on the subway, as well as waved to surprised commuters. He also had time to hug and talk to a young boy on his trip to work.
Greater Tehran has a population of 12 million people and suffers from a score of urban problems, such as heavy pollution.
Obama, Blasio and probably any other politician would never do this. Not sure if this is something to learn from or to laugh at.
I guess he didn’t have to worry too much about any subway bombings.
It would appear that these women are in the ezras nashim section of the subway. Rather low and too see-through to be up to our standards though.
wait there are subways in teheran? thought they would use camel trains as engines r too modern for strict religionists
