After more than six months of protests, more and more women in Iran are defying the veil law and going without the mandatory veil. It has provoked anger among the Iranian regime and among regime loyalists.
The regime shows no signs of backing down from the legal requirement, but on the contrary, the tone and rhetoric are hardening.
After Thursday's yogurt attack, Iran's president spoke out without condemning the act.
"A society is based on law and today the veil is a legal issue," says Ebrahim Raisi in a televised speech.
The man and the two women were arrested after the incident.
Resistance continues
The gap between the young population and the older rulers is widening in the country. While Iran's chief justice says "no mercy" should be given to women who do not cover their hair, women continue to resist further illegalities.
In early March, five young women were arrested for posting a video on social media dancing to a viral TikTok song. To their support, more and more women are now dancing in public. Young and old.
