Media inside Iran has reported the closure of several cafes and restaurants in downtown Tehran. According to these reports, Cafe Joo, 1401, Sam Cafe (twice), Novok, and Theory have been shut down on Sanai and Iranshahr streets. The website Emtehad wrote that different reasons were provided for each of these cafes, including "hijab, having sandwiches on the menu, and seating on the sidewalk." The closure of cafes and restaurants for reasons such as hijab or live music has a long history.

A received message along with an image of a ruling:
On Wednesday (a few days ago), a closure order was issued for 9 cafes inside Ekbatan Phase 1 without any justification (they only said hijab was not observed), and all the cafes were shut down.
