Iran complains to Jordan over wedding invite for ousted royals

IranMania News
30th May, 04

TEHRAN, May 30 (AFP) - Iran has lodged an official complaint with Jordan after Farah Diba, the widow of the ousted Iranian shah, was invited to the wedding of Crown Prince Hamza bin Hussein to a distant cousin, Princess Noor,the Iranian foreign ministry said.

"The foreign ministry has summoned the Jordanian charge d'affaires to protest over this invitation. It was an injustifiable gesture. There were people invited who have no status in their own country," foreign ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi told reporters.

He also warned that the invitation of Farah Diba, the widow of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, "will have repercussion on the relations between our two countries."

The widow of the shah, ousted by Iran's Islamic revolution in 1979, was among 2,500 guests -- who also included a number of European royals -- at a garden party in Amman Thursday.

Last Monday, Iran complained to Spain after both Farah Diba and her son were invited to the marriage of Crown Prince Felipe de Bourbon and former television news presenter Letizia Ortiz.
