Persian envoy to Washington sparks street spectacle in 1888
The Persian legation in Washington had no minister since 1888 when Hadji Hossein Ghooli Khan left in fury over public attention. Ghooli Khan dressed in Persian attire with a chasseur and naked saber drawing crowds and insults from ragged youths. Police guarded the legation but crowds grew, leading to Ghooli Khan’s return home and a vacant legation. Now Iran plans to send a new representative, risking the same parade and disruption.
