Queen Elizabeth II compared to Hitler on state-sponsored TV channel in Iran

While the world has been mourning the loss of Queen Elizabeth II, who died last week (September 8) aged 96, some anti-Western regimes have been tastelessly celebrating.

One of those is Iran.

And the Iranian channel – a mouthpiece of leaders in the country – shockingly claimed that she was “one of the greatest criminals in the history of mankind” and that her legacy in the United Kingdom was “full of crime, abomination and filth”, per Daily Star.

And, according to several reports, a leading Iranian state-run TV channel has compared Her Majesty to the murderous leader of the Nazi regime, Adolf Hitler.

The comments came from Foad Izadi of Tehran University.

Speaking on Channel 1 – the main news television channel of the country which throws members of the LGBTQ+ community off of buildings – he said: “Perhaps, in light of her 70 years on the throne, she should be included in the same list with Hitler."

"From a certain perspective, we should be sad that this person died because she died without standing trial, without being punished, and without paying for her crimes.”

And to make it worse, during an English-language broadcast on PressTV – the channel on which former Labour MP Chris Williamson currently presents an anti-semitic conspiracy theory-laden show about Jews - he added: “The Queen is a famous imperialist, colonialist, war criminal, the aggression of the British army throughout the world is done under her name.
