Mia Khalifa, watch out! There’s another porn star trying to outperform you when it comes to being disgusting.

Amidst restrictions barring many Iranians and artists abroad from entering Iran, an American adult film actress has ignited controversy by sharing photos of her journey to Iran.
Whitney Wright published her photos including visits to sites like the former American embassy in Tehran.
Wright, known for her support of Palestine, posted images with captions expressing her curiosity about Iran. The controversy began when she shared a story of herself at Tehran’s Golestan Palace, fully covered with Iran’s mandatory hijab. Wright had previously solicited recommendations from her followers for Tehran’s best foods and attractions.

Pesyani took to Instagram, stating, “You punish the people of this land for hijab defiance, yet you allow a porn star to visit Iran for sightseeing? What’s happening here?”
Earlier in January, Roya Heshmati, an Iranian woman, was subjected to 74 lashes for violating the Islamic Republic’s mandatory hijab law, while another woman who refused to wear the hijab received a two-year prison sentence.
