Files - Crackdown On Women Intensifies Under Cover Of War - Tehran
File photo - A Female Iranian morality police officer warns a woman on the street for violating the country’s compulsory hijab laws during a patrol in Tehran on Sunday, April 23, 2007. Iranian women are facing tougher crackdowns for refusing to wear the compulsory hijab in the shadows of Iran’s conflict with Israel. While news of IRGC missile and drone operations against Israel over the weekend has overshadowed other events, on Saturday, as part of what they claim is a "national and public demand," the Iranian police have begun enforcing hijab regulations on women in a new initiative called the Noor plan, Persian for ‘light’. 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.
