While Iran attacked Israel, morality police flooded its streets to suppress dissent, activists say
Fox News
Iranian activists say that Iran's attack on Israel came with a domestic crackdown on women not wearing hijabs and other dissenters. Some politicians criticized the polarizing move.
But activists and some politicians say the campaign appears aimed not only at enforcing mandatory hijab-wearing, but also at discouraging any wider dissent at a vulnerable moment for the clerical rulers.
Under Iran's sharia, or Islamic law, women are obliged to cover their hair and wear long, loose-fitting clothes. Offenders face public rebuke, fines or arrest.
