The
atrocity of thousands of spies and repressive agents dispatched by the mullahs’
regime in Iran under the pretext of ‘insensible’ patrols, used to impose a
climate of fear and crackdown, has reached such an embarrassing height that
senior Iranian regime officials are pointing fingers and blaming each other for
its dire consequences. As this plan was announced by Tehran police chief
Sajedinia, Iran’s judiciary chief came to the scene saying,”Mal-veiling and
having no hijab at all is considered a crime”.
Iran’s
public prosecutor in Tehran ordered the police to take action against drivers
not abiding by hijab regulations.
“The
keyword of social security lies in taking action against mal-veiling,” said
Mullah Alamalholda, the representative of Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei.
Of course,
oppression under the pretext of mal-veiling in Iran is nothing new. What is new
is the condition these new repressive measures are being implemented, meaning
the situation following the nuclear agreement sealed with the P5+1 known as the
JCPOA. The bloc of former Iranian president Hashemi Rafsanjani and current
President Hassan Rouhani are extremely concerned about the public’s reaction in
this regard, especially women and the youth.
“Anyone is
imposing regulations and new laws as they wish. One seeks to control the people
covertly, another comes seeking to control the people overtly,” Mullah Hassan
Rouhani said.
“The
announcement of this plan has raised a wave of concerns and a sense of
insecurity amongst the society and families… there are concerns that this plan
will actually cause more problems in the future,” Rouhani’s deputy added.
“This plan
must be analyzed in the Supreme National Security Council, and if there is an
improper interpretation in this regard… we will not be successful and the
entire scenario will actually backlash,” said Iranian Interior Minister Rahmani
Fazli.
Interesting
is the fact that the regime’s media outlets have cited the mullahs and their
fatwas to describe such a plan as haram, or forbidden. On the other hand
they raise legal arguments that such a plan is against the regime’s own laws.
The entire issue has reached a point that Mullah Ahmad Khatami, a senior
official in the so-called Assembly of Experts said recently, “This cultural
field is going wild, especially on social media, websites, foreign networks,
visual media, the radio, text media, the cinema, books. These are the weapons
of ‘soft war’… the leader had warned back in 1991 of a cultural attack and a
cultural ‘NATO’. However, what is actually quite tangible is the issue of
mal-veiling, which leads to audacity… we are not saying every boy and girl is
against the revolution, the Lucifer may have deceived them, they may be caught
off-guard. Some of these individuals that we see, their appearance may not fit
our system’s framework, yet deep down they are fond of the establishment and
Islamic revolution… The struggle against mal-veiling should be through kind
measures and based on the law.” (State radio in Iran – 29 April 2016)
The truth
is that fear of social consequences has forced Iran’s crackdown apparatus to a
point that its Supreme National Security Council has to evaluate such a plan,
and a criminal mullah such as Ahmad Khatami boasts of “kind measures based on
the law” by state agents. This is an attempt to lure even mal-veiled women to
the regime’s own reactionary-minded camp. This is described as desperate
measures by the mullahs’ regime.
It is worth
noting that the mullahs’ regime, through its Friday prayer speeches, has time
and again described the issue of mal-veiled women in Iran being a complete
insult to the mullahs’ system and considering this matter as a security
concern. Certainly, the misogynist mullahs’ regime will never be capable of
forgoing such repressive measures, and now one must see how the brave youths of
Iran will stand against this new form of oppression, and realize the security
threats forecasted by the mullahs’ senior officials.
