Iranian morality police are shown forcing a woman to cover her bare legs with trousers as part of a new crackdown on alleged violations of Islamic norms, including hijab-related rules. Footage distributed by outlets depicts officers confronting a woman in public as she adjusts her clothing.
The reports also say authorities seal off dozens of cafes and gyms connected to concerns about compliance with the regime’s dress and conduct standards. While the accounts focus on different visible aspects of enforcement—such as the individual incident captured on video versus the broader closures of venues—they describe the same overall campaign. In both cases, the actions are attributed to the Islamic Republic’s morality policing bodies, acting in line with a renewed effort to address conduct that authorities say does not meet prescribed Islamic norms.
