CNN, a well-known female reporter Christiane Amanpour, said that she was originally scheduled to interview Iranian President Lehish who was attending the United Nations General Assembly in New York on the evening of the 21st. Inleh asked her to wear a headscarf, but she refused, so the interview was cancelled.

NBC News reported that Omanpur posted a detailed story on Twitter, and she described Lehi's request as "an unprecedented and unexpected situation."
Iranian 22-year-old Mahsa Amini was arrested by the religious police on the 13th for not wearing a headscarf as required. During his detention, he was treated violently by the police. He was sent to the hospital to die after falling into a coma, triggering a wave of demonstrations in various parts of Iran. Omanpur said she originally planned to ask Lehi about the relevant situation of the demonstrations in Iran.
Omanpur said: The CNN team has been preparing for this interview for a long time, and spent eight hours on the same day to install translation equipment, lighting and cameras; she said: We are all ready, but we have not seen President Lehi.
The scheduled time for the interview was 40 minutes after the scheduled time. Lehi's staff came to say that Lehi asked Omanpur to wear a headscarf to show his recognition of Islamic Religion Month.
Amanpur pointed out in the post: We are in New York, where there are no laws or traditions related to wearing a hijab. They have never made such a request when they visited previous Iranian presidents outside Iran. Omanpur expressed his inability to cooperate with the staff and the interview ended with cancellation.
Omanpur's post reads: "With the continued demonstrations in Iran and the people were killed, this visit was originally an important opportunity to talk to President Lehi."
