# Iranian Authorities Arrest Individuals on Tehran's Iranshahr Street Over Mandatory Hijab Rules, State Media Reports

*Iranian authorities have detained several individuals on Iranshahr Street in Tehran as part of an intensified judiciary crackdown against non-compliance with mandatory hijab rules, according to Iranian state-linked outlet Javan Online. The Tehran prosecutor's office stated that law enforcement officers will decisively confront any actions deemed to promote unveiling or social non-compliance under the direction of the judiciary.*

## Judiciary Enforcement on Iranshahr Street

The outlet reported that the detentions were executed following the direct intervention of the Tehran prosecutor's office as part of ongoing judicial measures to confront public defiance of mandatory hijab regulations.

According to the state-linked publication, the arrests targeted individuals whom authorities characterized as agents actively promoting unveiling and immodesty in public spaces. Iranian judicial officials claimed that those detained on Iranshahr Street were openly fostering non-compliance with religious dress requirements, alleging that their presence formed part of organized social currents operating in the city.

## Directives from the Judiciary Leadership

The enforcement actions on Iranshahr Street align with directives issued by the head of Iran's judiciary aimed at identifying and suppressing organized conduct that breaches dress codes.

Under these directives, prosecutorial bodies and judicial officers have been instructed to escalate legal confrontations against individuals accused of promoting the removal of mandatory headcoverings.

## Tehran Prosecutor Issues Warning to the Public

Following the detentions on Iranshahr Street, the Tehran prosecutor's office issued a formal warning to the public regarding compliance with mandatory dress laws. The prosecutor's office emphasized that judicial authorities, acting in coordination with law enforcement officers and judicial enforcement agents, will decisively confront any conduct deemed to encourage unveiling or social laxity across the capital.

The prosecutor's announcement stated that all such actions will be met with strict legal procedures in accordance with Iranian law.
