Iranian media: Politics, not merit, behind Farhadi’s win
Former NASA scientist Firouz Naderi and astronaut Anousheh Ansari
Tehran - Arab Today
Two Iranian hard-line newspapers have criticized Asghar Farhadi’s best foreign film Oscar, claiming “politics” brought him the award.
The Keyhan daily said on Tuesday that President Donald Trump’s executive order to ban US entry for citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries, including Iran, was behind the award for “The Salesman.”
The Javan daily says “Farhadi owes Donald Trump and the Democrats’ media propaganda for his second Oscar” and argues that the Oscar was an individual’s achievement rather than the success of Iranian cinema.
Javan is considered close to Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guard and hard-liners who have disapproved of Farhadi’s art — and the speech delivered in his name at the Oscars.
This was the second Oscar for Farhadi, who boycotted the ceremony in protest of Trump’s executive order.

Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led his
