compulsory hijab

An Iranian American creator's account of a tense 2023 visit to Iran, marked by anxiety, strict dress codes, and economic hardship, has resurfaced.

One widely circulated video showed a young Iranian American woman dancing provocatively to what online observers dubbed the “Trump dance,” a meme adaptation of YMCA choreography synonymous with campaign rallies. She wore a crop top and shorts. She moved without visible inhibition.

Her suspicion was framed as a question of authenticity. Were these women reflective of typical Iranian society, or were they algorithm-friendly theatre?

Mohammadi has subsequently announced she would not under any circumstances wear a hijab, the head covering which has been obligatory for women in public spaces since shortly after Iran's 1979 Islamic revolution. Prison authorities in response have refused to transfer Mohammadi, who suffers from heart and lung conditions, to a hospital outside Evin, her family said in a statement, warning her health and life were at risk.
