Women committee of the NCRI adds that the IRGC and Bassij forces resorted to a stupid rationale to convince Iranian women to observe the compulsory veil. The billboard reads:
"Have you ever seen Zorro or Batman losing in any battle? NO! Because their covering is complete. So, my sister, observe your veil properly. Signed: Shahid Baghitabar Bassij Base"
The woman committee of the Iranian resistance adds that, one should recommend this complete veil and covering to the Iranian regime's troops in Syria who are suffering heavy casualties these days in defending criminal Bashar Assad.
