The Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs clarified that Minister Tanja Fajon \u201chas not visited Iran during her term, neither in an official nor in an unofficial capacity.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mojca \u0160krinjar, former MP for the Democratic Party (SDS) and current president of the party\u2019s senior citizens\u2019 club, shared a post<\/a> on social media platform X on June 18 in which an Israeli user claimed that \u201cIran is executing innocent political prisoners \u2013 \u00a0people whose only \u2018crime\u2019 is daring to criticize the regime.\u201d The post was accompanied by a photo of six individuals with covered heads awaiting execution by hanging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In her repost, she added: \u201cKnowing this, how could Tanja Fajon have gone to Iran? When the Iranian regime collapses, we’ll know everything.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs explained that Minister Fajon \u201chas not visited Iran during her term, neither in an official nor in an unofficial capacity,\u201d but she has met with representatives of the Iranian Foreign Ministry at international events in recent years. She last met with current Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on November 26 last year at the end of a multilateral event in Portugal, and with Araghchi\u2019s predecessor Hossein Amir-Abdollahian in January 2024 at the conclusion of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland and on September 28, 2022, during the 77th<\/sup> session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By reverse image searching the photo from the Israeli user\u2019s post shared by \u0160krinjar, we determined that it matches a scene<\/a> of a public hanging from the 1968 film Hang \u2019Em High<\/em>. The photo reposted by the former MP is cropped to show four of the six individuals being hanged. This match is further confirmed by a partial inscription on a building in the upper right corner of the image, consistent with the film scene.<\/p>\n\n\n

In June 2022, Razkrinkavanje.si verified<\/a> another post shared by \u0160krinjar on social media platforms Facebook and X (then still known as Twitter). We labelled that post as fake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the Israeli user later deleted her post, \u0160krinjar\u2019s repost and comment remain online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We informed \u0160krinjar of our findings and will publish her response once we have received it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Razkrinkavanje.si methodology, we label \u0160krinjar\u2019s post as fake.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
