One such piece of legislation aims to impose a “standard Islamic garment” on all Iranians, meaning that Iranians will no longer be able to dress as they wish. There is an even more difficult to understand addition to the restriction: The colours of the projected “uniforms” are limited to sombre hues. As if life were so rosy for them! This new regimentation in the lifestyle of Iranians is supposed to apply even to children as young as four! It doesn’t make for a...
