Iran’s new president has said that morality police will no longer “bother” women over the wearing of the mandatory hijab headscarf, days after the UN warned women were still being violently punished for breaking the strict dress code.

  1. im sure this is honestly for really real and that they didnt have their fingers crossed behind their back and their toes crossed in their shoes

  2. Iran is over here trying to gaslight the world like an abusive ex “No, I promise we won’t beat you to death again”

  3. Ah, yes, morality police will no longer “bother” women over wearing mandatory hijab headscarf.

    Unfortunately, there are more than one way to make the life of women miserable in Iran since women is not considered as equal to men.

  4. They put this guy up as President to sweettalk the west into thinking Iran is going to become a bastion of liberalism and progress, and *surely* not the epicenter of state-sponsored terrorism (both inwards and outwards) and war mongering in the Middle East.

  5. > Pezeshkian, who became president after his predecessor died in a helicopter crash, is seen as a potentially reformist leader.

    Getting really tired of the Western journalists who buy this BS about ‘reformists’ and keep repeating it. Fuck off please. To the intelligent audience out there, be concerned about the ‘illusory effect’ – if something is repeated, especially if it is false, then you will come to believe it to be true, despite the fact that it is false.

    Pezeshkian is not a reformist. The whole label itself is meaningless. No one is able to run or be a candidate unless they are 100% loyal to the Islamic regime.

    In fact, Pezeshkian is 120% loyal. He bragged in his campaign that it was him who insisted, at the onset of the 1979 Islamic take over of my country that women nurses and doctors in the hospital be forced to wear hijab, despite there being no actual laws about it (since it hadn’t been put in place yet).

    He also went to parliament and threatened them that the must rubber stamp his whole cabinet because they were hand picked by Khamenei.

    This is the person that the Western journalists like to continuously refer to as “reformist”.

  6. Nah .. these religious nutcases would not “bother” them. They will just murder them.

    I don’t think these yahoos know how to do anything but to murder defenseless girls because of hair.
