Iranian women are facing tougher crackdowns for refusing to wear the compulsory hijab in the shadows of Iran’s conflict with Israel.

Morality police are also back on the streets in full force, having been scaled back since the death of Mahsa Amini in 2022, with a stronger presence around Tehran’s central districts, full of police patrols, morality vans and police motorcycle patrols.
