Iran Halts Stricter Hijab Law

Iran's government has temporarily suspended a new law imposing harsher penalties for women not following the hijab dress code.

President Pezeshkian voiced concerns about the law's clarity and announced a review, highlighting potential flaws in its implementation.

The proposed legislation, facing widespread criticism from human rights groups, would have significantly increased punishments for dress code violations.

This pause suggests the government is wary of the potential for renewed large-scale protests in response to the stricter regulations.
