Iran's state-aligned Mizan news agency reported that the judiciary shut down a café in northern Tehran for violating dress-code rules, including failure to observe modesty and not wearing the hijab. The closure follows a period in which authorities had reportedly encouraged women without hijabs to attend pro-regime rallies.
Iran's judiciary-affiliated Mizan news agency reported Tuesday that authorities closed a café in northern Tehran over modesty and hijab violations. The move enforces the mandatory dress code in a neighborhood that has often seen relaxed enforcement during the past year.
As reported by the same agency cited in the intake, the closure comes after an extended period in which Iranian authorities reportedly encouraged women without hijabs to attend pro-regime demonstrations in recent months, highlighting a selective application of the dress-code law.
The case is a local enforcement action rather than part of the broader wave of military or security incidents The Zioneer has tracked across Iran in recent days. However, it reflects the continued tension within Iranian society over the mandatory hijab, which has been a flashpoint since the 2022 protests. No immediate comment was available from the café's owners or legal representatives.
