The state-run Mehr News Agency reported on Sunday, July 16 that Saeed Montazerol-Mahdi, the State Security Force (SSF) spokesman said: Mobile and foot patrols will be stationed across the country to deal with those groups of people who insist on breaking the norms, unfortunately, without paying attention to the consequences of wearing dresses outside the norm. They will be dealt with legally and reported to the Judiciary starting today if they do not conform to the orders of the police. Montazerol-Mahdi said the measure, aimed at expanding “public security” and reinforcing the “foundations of the family,” will be accompanied by prior warnings and threats.
