Yes, women could visit the beaches in Western attire.
That evil Shah...
Leftists sure talk a good game when it come to women’s
rights.
The Pahlavis were usurpers, who came to power in a coup. And they also stole the Khuzestan oil fields from the Arabic-speaking Akhwazi. When the Ayatollah deposed the Shah, he did nothing to restore the rights of the Akhwazi. Oil is oil, and they continue to pump it out of the ground and use it for their own nefarious purposes, and oppress the Akhwazi.
The very rich and well connecteds’ daughters still get to go beaches in the skimpiest of swim suits.
