नेतन्याहूसँगको भौतिक समानताका कारण ईरानी दुकानदार सोसल मिडियामा भाइरल
तेहरानमा आधारित एक दुकानदारले इजरायली प्रधानमन्त्री बेनजामिन नेतन्याहूसँगको चम्किलो भौतिक समानताका कारण सोसल मिडिया प्लेटफर्महरूमा महत्त्वपूर्ण ध्यान आकर्षण गरेका छन्। जसको पहिचान खुलाइएको छैन, उक्त व्यक्तिले इजरायली नेतासँगको उनको समानतालाई उजागर गर्ने तस्बिर र भिडियोहरू अनलाइनमा फैलिएको बेला अपेक्षाकृत भाइरल सन्सन्सको रूपमा परिणत भएका छन्। यो घटनाले सोसल मिडिया प्रयोगकर्ताहरूबाट व्यापक रुचि आकर्षण गरेको छ, जसले स्थानीय व्यापारीलाई सार्वजनिक जिज्ञासाको विषय बनाएको छ। ईरान र इजरायलबीचको भौगोलिक राजनीतिक तनावका बाबजुद, दुकानदारको रूपले विभिन्न डिजिटल प्लेटफर्महरूमा हास र टिप्पणीहरूलाई प्रेरित गरेको छ। यस अचानक अनलाइन प्रसिद्धीप्रति दुकानदारको व्यक्तिगत प्रतिक्रिया वा समानताको कुनै व्यापक राजनीतिक प्रभावबारे अहिलेसम्म थप जानकारी रिपोर्ट गरिएको छैन।
