Ahmad Karimi Rahjerdi’s Hitler haircut is making me feel ill
Redline does not generally purport to be an arbiter of style. But upon reviewing some recent photographs of SPND senior official Dr Ahmad Karimi Rahjerdi (احمد کریمی راهجردی), we couldn’t help but be reminded of a certain sweaty bunker-dweller from Austria. The clammy side-part is a tough look to pull off; we’re not sure that it really works for Dr Karimi (particularly when applied sans moustache).
Dr Karimi has been the public face of SPND’s work on a dubious COVID vaccine. He’s also the head of SPND’s Biology Department, according to this radio interview. That role in SPND involves dabbling with small quantities of biological weapon material, ostensibly for the purposes of developing defensive mechanisms, but actually for developingpoisons and delivery systems.
So what’s got Dr Karimi so sweaty? The photos above are from a recent demonstration of a mobile biological laboratory, developed by SPND not for the purpose of making Colin Powell spin in his grave, but as an ostensible piece of protective equipment against biological weapon threats. With specialized ventilation and protective equipment, the laboratory is rated to something called Biological Safety Level 3 (BSL 3), which makes it more than suitable for mucking around with the kind of pathogens that SPND likes to imagine infecting its enemies with.
Just so you can recognize the mobile lab on your next road trip down the Karaj Highway, here’s a photo of it, taken from the outside. Note the logos of SPND and its BW subsidiary, the Shahid Zein Al-Din Group (گروه شهید زینالدین):
And here’s a photo taken from inside the lab, featuring Dr Karimi; SPND’s head Reza Mozafarinia (رضا مظفری نیا); and the head of Iran’s Passive Defence Organisation (سازمان پدافند غیرعامل), Gholamreza Jalali (غلامرضا جلالی):
It’s like the world’s worst food van! Perhaps that explains why Dr Karimi is looking sweatier than a taco truck worker.
