In recent days, media close to the government and some officials of the Islamic Republic have once again emphasized the enforcement of the mandatory hijab law and taking action against women who do not comply with this law. At the same time, the newspaper "Hamshahri" published a report calling on the judiciary and law enforcement to address what it referred to as "norm-breaking" and "improper dress."

The Hamshahri newspaper, affiliated with the Tehran municipality, in a report referencing videos of women without mandatory hijab at the beaches of Kish, recreational centers, shopping malls, and some cultural events, described these instances as signs of "cultural nudity" and claimed that some of these events might be part of an "organized project" to undermine Islamic values.

This newspaper, referring to the videos released from the Simorgh beach in Kish, the holding of fashion shows, mixed celebrations, concerts, and changes in dress patterns in public places, called for the intervention of the prosecutor's office and law enforcement to take action against individuals who, in the view of this media outlet, violate the laws regarding the mandatory hijab.

At the same time, several members of parliament have once again called for the implementation of the law known as "supporting families through the promotion of the culture of chastity and hijab." Mohammad Taghi Naghdali, a representative from Khomayni Shahr, claimed that "nudity and lack of hijab have infested society like a plague" and urged officials to prioritize the enforcement of this law.
