Hijab Controversy: Hijab controversy continues in Iran. A strict law has been made regarding hijab in Iran. According to the law, if a woman is found violating the law, she can also be given death penalty. Tension has increased between President Pezeshkian and Supreme Leader Khamenei regarding the Hijab law. Pezeshkian has said that he will not implement the Hijab law. Following protests against the hijab law in Iran, implementation has been postponed. There were provisions in the law that a woman who violates the hijab law could also be sentenced to death. According to Iranian leader Ali Shakori Raid, “President Pezeshkian has clearly told Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei that he is going to implement this law.” According to Shakori Raid, Pezeshkian told Khamenei that “If the new hijab law is implemented, it will cause huge losses to Iran, so I am not implementing it.”
