Document forgery and claims of having a PhD
Rahimi claims that to hold a Ph.D. from Oxford University. This claim has been vastly disputed by many Iranian sources. [1] He has also claimed to have a Ph.D. from Belford University. Alef, an Iranian site that belongs to Ahmad Tavakkoli, has published documents purporting to show fraudulent documents created by Rahimi. [2]
