In a major development to the ongoing unrest in Iran, the Parliament is preparing to review the country’s compulsory hijab law

Iran’s Parliament is set to review the controversial hijab law amid an ongoing uprising in the country.

Iran’s Attorney General insists change will occur over the coming weeks and signalled the morality police will be “abolished” despite claims it is still present on the streets.

“We know you feel anguished when you witness [women] without a hijab in cities, do you think the officials are silent about it? A

s someone who is in the field of this issue, I say that both the parliament and the judiciary are working, for example, just yesterday we had a meeting with the cultural commission of the parliament, and you will see the results within the next week or two.”

Under strict Islamic rule, it is mandatory for women in Iran to wear the hijab in public.

However, since the death of 22 year old Mahsa Amini while in custody, the country has spiralled into chaos.

For weeks, thousands of women have been burning their hijabs and cutting their hair in defiance of the strict Islamic Republic.

The world has been gripped by the uprising, unable to turn a blind eye.

Trump claims Iran’s military largely neutralized; tensions rise with attacks threatening air travel and oil shipping.

President Trump says Iran’s military capability has been largely neutralised, including its navy and air force, as the conflict in the Middle East intensifies. Iranian attacks have threatened commercial air travel and oil shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, raising fears of wider economic fallout.

The U.S. Embassy in Riyadh has faced two attacks, while Gulf states worked to intercept further Iranian strikes. Officials report six U.S. troops killed and more than 700 deaths inside Iran as the exchange of fire escalates.

With global markets watching closely, the region remains on edge as military and diplomatic tensions show no signs of easing.
