Men in Iran have been ordered not to look at women during Ramadan as part of a crackdown on freedoms by the regime amid US sanctions and civil unrest.

The country's judiciary announced that anyone eating in public during the fasting period or playing music on their car radio would also be arrested.

'My personal advice to women is to respect the hijab even more than before and gentlemen must avoid looking directly at female passersby,' Gholam- Hossein Esmaili, a judiciary spokesperson said.

'Anyone ignoring these instructions during the Ramadan will be committing an offence and should expect some punishment from the law enforcement units.'
