The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.

Iran is shaken by a scandal involving a Jewish journalist who had an interview with then-presidential candidate Ebrahim Raisi. According to an article published by Iran International, Catherine Shakdam, a French-Jewish writer and commentator, "infiltrated" Iran. In 2021, Shakdam published a story in the Times of Israel about her 2017 interview with current President of Iran, Ibrahim Raisi. At the time, Shakdam had converted to Shia Islam and Raisi was running for the presidency in the previous election cycle, when she "ended up where few Jews were ever allowed to enter." She explained that she was introduced to Raisi "by one of the main propagandists of the Islamic Revolution." Iran's strict rules towards foreign journalists, especially female journalists, were overruled by the propagandist's vote of confidence, Shakdam added. She described Iran as an "unwelcoming place for the Jewish people" and compared her visit to walking "right into the belly of the beast." The scandal with Shakdam's alleged infiltration has caused several high-ranking Iranian officials to deny being in contact with her.

Atheist Republic was recently granted a special interview with Catherine Shakdam, as Atheist Republic’s founder, Armin Navabi, had actually met Shakdam in person several years prior, while she was still a Muslim She even revealed that Armin played an important role in her leaving Islam and becoming an atheist! Shakdam disclosed during the Atheist Republic interview that she was somehow accused of "spying" for both Iran and Israel, and that she believes that the parties accusing her of being a spy "do not believe their own story.""All these competing powers are basically using me as ammunition," she added.
