It's even funnier because the entire feminist West is suddenly quiet about violent sexual abuse of women because Israel did it.

Iran putting the icing on the cake.

Iran has a complicated history having been one of the first and most progressive nations in the middle east.

They started a democratic parliament in 1906. Mandatory hijab was banned at some point in the 1930s. Women were educated and active in the professional sectors like lawyers and doctors in the following decades. Their royal family (shah) was still around but with decreasing authority, similar to many democratic European countries today.

Then a democratic elected leader wanted to nationalise oil the oil industry pissing off the UK and US

Operating Ajax was a CIA/MI6 lead coup that overthrew the democracy and reestablished the dictatorship of the shah with extended power.

In return for giving them a large share of the denationalisation oil they even helped train a secret police.

This helped fuel an anti-west sentiment as the shah was considered a western puppet. Actual progressive Political opposition got crushed making religion the primary public voice of dissent.

This turmoil ends in the islamic revolution and republic that dominates that eventually reversed all the progressive laws and brought back a mandated hijab for women.

These regime still rules today but you would be mistaken to consider them real representatives of the people. The majority of women today are still educated. Since a protest a few years ago there is mass civil disobedience, especially in big cities.

In effect 2025 the government of Iran has lost legitimacy towards the people but they still enjoy lots of military might to maintain their technical position.

It might be fair to say that some religious people in power would still wish to invoke their views on all women and make this argument in spite of the Irsael-US/UK connections but to equate that to the nation/people of iran is inaccurate.

You're talking about Mahsa Amini who was murdered by morality police after being arrested for not wearing a hijab, which was already part of a wider trend inside the country.

Iran crushed the subsequent protests by killing 500 people and arresting over 20,000. But amazingly enough, that event appears to have led to more women not wearing the hijab.

We might see a crackdown, there are rumblings from the Iranian gov, but nothing yet.

Iran would have definitely not done way more than this because she didn't cover her hair. This is delusional levels of brainwashing.

im finally admitting israel doing genocide with the full support of the west but hey , iran bad

Israel took massive PR losses from it though MSM buried it well.
