Offbeat | Iranian official acknowledges porn actress visited country

A semi-official news agency in Iran is quoting a government official acknowledging that a British-American porn actress recently visited the Islamic Republic following a social media outcry.
ISNA on Tuesday quoted Hasan Qashqavi, a deputy foreign minister in charge of consular affairs, as saying the actress visited Iran after she “applied for a visa through a travel agency” under a different name.
Qashqavi was quoted as telling tourism officials to carefully examine the documents of those trying to visit Tehran.
He added: “We have clerics and lawmakers who have cultural sensitivities and these sorts of events may cause problems later.”
The actress, known as Candy Charms, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. She previously said on Instagram that she visited Iran to get a nose job. AP
