Islamic Iran is engulfed by sex tape scandal: Senior regime official is suspended after video is leaked 'showing him having sex with a man'



Iran has been engulfed in a sex tape scandal after a senior government official responsible for promoting Islamic values was suspended after a video was leaked of a man alleged to be him having sex with another man.

The video which has been shared online reportedly is of a man said to be Reza Tsaghati, the head of culture and Islamic guidance in the northern Gilan province.

However the identities of the two men in the video and its authenticity have not been verified, the BBC reports.

Iran is an Islamic nation where homosexulity is illegal, carrying a potential death sentence, and LGBT+ people face constant threats of abuse, harassment and violence.

Mr Tsaghati has reportedly been suspended from his position pending an investigation by the authorities - and the government have denied any prior knowledge of his alleged behaviour.
