This is the moment the daughter of a top Iranian official who helped organise the brutal crackdown on protesters over the death of Mahsa Amini – and who enforced the same dress code that led to her killing – walks down the aisle in a strapless wedding dress. The footage, reportedly filmed at the luxury Espinas Palace Hotel in Tehran, Iran, in May 2024, surfaced online on 17th October this year (2025). As Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) at the time of Amini’s death in 2022, Ali Shamkhani was one of the senior officials directly involved in directing the state’s response to the nationwide protests that followed. The SNSC is Iran’s highest security body, bringing together the Interior Minister, Intelligence Minister, Revolutionary Guards commanders and judiciary chiefs, all under the supervision of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. In that position, Shamkhani helped design and authorise the crackdown on demonstrators and defend the Islamic Republic’s strict hijab and public-morality policies — the same rules that saw 22-year-old Amini beaten into a coma and killed by the morality police for showing her hair by not wearing a hijab.
