Was this before or after the mass killings of civilians by the Government? Iran's Supreme Leader, Khamenei has consistently defended mandatory hijab as a core Islamic principle and a pillar of the Islamic Republic. In December 2025, he publicly defended the hijab, stating that women who wear it and respect Islamic dress "can progress more than others in all areas" and play active roles in society and home Legally, wearing the hijab remains mandatory for women in public under Iran's Islamic Penal Code and related laws, introduced after the 1979 revolution and upheld under Khamenei's leadership. Violations can still lead to fines, arrests, business closures (for serving unveiled women), or other penalties, though enforcement varies significantly by region and time—often laxer in major cities like Tehran but stricter elsewhere, with periodic crackdowns involving surveillance, morality police, or business raids. You are spreading islamist/marxist propaganda Flash, I expect better or atleast neutrality
