Iranian authorities closed a new branch of the Lamiz coffee chain at the Royal Pars shopping center in Ahvaz hours before its planned opening on Friday evening, according to reports. The closure follows a series of measures against the chain, including a cup design interpreted as hinting at bombing Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and mixed-gender parties without segregation, which led to the closure of other branches.
Iranian authorities closed a new branch of the Lamiz coffee chain at the Royal Pars shopping center in Ahvaz hours before its planned opening on Friday evening, according to reports. The closure follows a series of actions against the chain in recent months, including a design printed on coffee cups that was interpreted on social media as hinting at bombing Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, and the hosting of mixed-gender parties without gender segregation. Those incidents led to the closure of other Lamiz branches. The latest closure underscores the regime's continued enforcement of Islamic morality codes.
