Iranian law does not consider dancing as a crime, but judicial officials have relied on laws on “publishing vulgar content” and “posing as a forbidden act,” to convict Tibi.

The Iranian "Rana" agency said that after Tayeb's dismissal from his government post, an arrest warrant was issued against him, on Wednesday.

On the other hand, the director of the Postal Company, Abdullah Abdali, confirmed that Tibi was dismissed from his position for "acts and behavior in violation of regulations in the workplace."
