33:54Now PlayingIn a bold act of defiance against Iran's mandatory hijab laws, female employees at Turkish Airlines' Tehran office refused to wear headscarves, leading to a dramatic confrontation with Iranian police and the subsequent closure of the office. The incident, reported by the semi-official Tasnim news agency, occurred on July 8th when police arrived to issue a warning for "non-observance of hijab." The situation escalated when employees reportedly "made trouble for the police officers," resulting in the office being sealed. This act of rebellion coincided with the election of “reformist” President-elect Masoud Pezeshkian, who has promised to ease hijab enforcement – a contentious issue since the death of Mahsa Amini in 2022. The closure of the popular airline's office highlights the ongoing tension between Iran's strict religious laws and growing calls for personal freedom, with one official stating that "the police would not close down any business due to the non-observance of hijab but issue first warnings." This incident underscores the complex relationship between Iran's domestic policies and its international business ties, particularly with Turkey, a key trade partner and tourist destination for Iranians.
