Recent incidents in Iran have sparked controversy as videos of altercations over hijab surfaced on social media. One video shows a confrontation between an unveiled woman and a cleric in Shiraz, while another depicts an altercation in a clinic in Qom. Iranian authorities plan to prosecute individuals involved in these incidents, with arrests made for sharing such videos. The sentencing of Iranian singer Shervin Hajipour and dual national abductee Jamshid Sharmahd has drawn criticism for being disproportionate, with the latter facing $2.5 billion in fines. Women in Iran have been protesting against hijab rules, with activists launching campaigns and lawmakers proposing direct cash fines for violations.
