Segregated seating for the vaccinated is the latest trend to hit the city’s burgeoning post-pandemic nightlife scene with venues saving the best seats in the house (think ground floor with no ugly plexiglass barriers) for patrons who got jabbed.

Over a period of three days, with limited VPN connection, an eyewitness currently in Tehran — who, for her safety, is concealing her identity — shared her account of life under a country in the midst of battle with The Post’s Natasha Pearlman.
