On Tuesday, July 9, a senior official from the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution revealed that the Turkish Airlines office in Iran was sealed by the Public Places Supervision Office due to non-compliance with mandatory hijab regulations. This action, confirmed by Ebrahim Souzanchi, a member of the council, sparked immediate reactions as it might have been linked to a recent phone conversation between Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan and the regime\u2019s president-elect Masoud Pezeshkian.<\/p>\n
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Souzanchi commented<\/a> on the timing of the incident, suggesting a possible connection to the high-level diplomatic exchange. He sarcastically noted, “Erdo\u011fan called and spoke with the President-elect for an hour about improving relations. Meanwhile, today, the Turkish Airlines office was sealed by the authorities for hijab violations; it must be a coincidence.”<\/p>\n This incident highlights a broader trend where numerous businesses are closed annually in Iran for various reasons, such as failing to adhere to mandatory hijab rules and the regime\u2019s fundamentalist codes <\/span>of conduct by patrons or employees, hosting live music, or facilitating dancing and festivities.<\/p>\n Internal Strife Erupts as #Iran<\/a>\u2019s Regime Unveils Controversial #Hijab<\/a> Enforcement Planhttps:\/\/t.co\/f87mdIEB6k<\/a><\/p>\n — NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) April 22, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
