The Spin

Anti-Iran narrative

There's little doubt that the Iranian regime was irrational and completely out of touch with society. Yet, relaunching patrols to enforce the dress code is a terrible measure even for Tehran's leadership. This move can only wreak havoc in the country and reignite women-led anti-government protests.

Pro-Iran narrative

While enemies of Iran attempt to create cracks in the nation through warfare against the Islamic headscarf, Iranian women and girls will not give up their Muslim identity. The hijab is an unquestionable religious necessity and a practical principle of a nation that bolsters the traditional family. This policy must be protected and upheld.
