55:30Now PlayingIran’s controversial new “Hijab and Chastity Bill” has sparked widespread outrage, introducing harsh penalties for those who defy the Islamic Republic’s strict dress code. Fines for violations range from $285 to over $2,300, with additional penalties including bans on accessing essential public services like renewing passports or driver’s licenses. Critics accuse the regime of exploiting women to fund regional proxies like Hamas and Hezbollah. Adding fuel to the fire, the bill controversially allows “volunteer groups,” including Afghan residents, to enforce dress codes—prompting backlash against perceived racial discrimination. However, human rights lawyer Sina Yousefi cautioned against reducing the issue to a racial debate, calling it “a trap” that distracts from the broader attack on women’s rights. As the nation awaits President Masoud Pezeshkian’s decision, many hold him to his campaign promise to “reduce pressure on women,” urging him to block the law.
