16:38Now PlayingIran's strict enforcement of mandatory hijab laws has led to widespread unemployment, with thousands of Iranians losing their jobs as businesses shut down due to noncompliance. In March alone, at least 2,000 businesses closed, while in Tehran, 13 cafes and restaurants were forced to shut their doors. The Opal Mall, a significant shopping center in northern Iran, experienced closure, affecting over 450 establishments and 2,500 jobs. Despite the economic turmoil, Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei remains steadfast in his support for hijab enforcement. However, the crackdown has ignited debate among legal experts and scholars. Law professor Mohammad Mansouri-Boroujeni questioned the logic behind the closures, stating, “Has anyone ever heard of a street being banned because of a murder that happened there? … Businesses cannot be sealed because someone removes their hijab there.” With tensions rising, Iran's unwavering commitment to mandatory hijab laws comes at a significant cost to its economy and people.
