Iran Establishes Tehran Court for “Moral Security” as Hijab Monitoring Tightens

Iran has established a Tehran court dedicated to “moral security” as authorities intensify monitoring of hijab compliance. The court is expected to handle cases involving alleged violations of dress codes and related social conduct. Officials say the initiative aims to reinforce public order and existing regulations, while critics warn it could expand surveillance and pressure on women. The move comes amid broader efforts to enforce conservative social policies and deter public dissent. Rights groups have criticized such measures as coercive.
