Four-minute read<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n Last week, Ahmadreza Radan, the commander of the State Security Forces tasked with the new crackdown initiative named “Tarheh Noor,” (Persian for the Plan of Light) was dispatched on provincial trips last week. <\/span>During these trips, the state orchestrated various spectacles<\/span>, and state television along with all the print and online media outlets that follow the strict guidelines dictated by the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance, plastered bold headlines about him and public support for the enforcement of mandatory hijab.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In Isfahan, a curated crowd assembled to applaud Radan, with <\/span>some veiled women<\/span><\/a> holding placards that read, “Police, good job.”<\/span><\/p>\n In Mashhad, Radan was depicted among women wearing black chadors. When a young girl presented him with flowers, he leaned down to kiss her. These images were intended to amend the public perception of a former member of the Revolutionary Guards and the commander-in-chief of the very force that has been involved in the killing, torturing, or blinding of thousands of protesters during the recent uprising, or blindfolding society with a shallow charm.<\/span><\/p>\n As a group of young girls wearing blue chadors gathered to take souvenir photos alongside Ahmadreza Radan, <\/span>the presenter shouted<\/span><\/a>, “Let’s take this photo so that those who wanted to see conflict and war among us can witness our unity.”<\/span><\/p>\n Apr. 23 – Tehran metro, Iran — Iran News Wire (@IranNW) April 23, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
Social media video of locals chanting against the regime's hijab enforcers who were trying to arrest a woman.
