This is a dynamic that Iranian President Ebraim Raisi himself (a notorious murderer of left-wing militants, as was made clear in his role as judge and executioner in the mass executions of more than 5,000 political opponents in 1988) endorsed when during his trip to New York to speak at the United Nations Organization decided not to appear for an interview with the renowned journalist Christiane Amanpour and missed the opportunity to convey the message of his government to the world on the subject of the hijaband the protests.
The excuse used by Raisi was that the presenter of Iranian south africa phone number list descent did not want to wear the Islamic veil during the interview, although the report was not carried out in Tehran but in the United States, where its use is not mandatory (reminiscent of the anecdote of the visit of ex-Iranian president Hassan Rouhani, a supposedly moderate, to Europe in 2016 and his demand that no one drink wine at a dinner in his honor in France, was a situation that offended his French hosts to such an extent that they considered it an affront directly to their own traditions, so they ended up canceling the evening.
Later, when the Iranian president returned to his country (loaded with gifts and electronics purchased from the "Great Satan"), he declared that "the enemies of the Revolution are creating riots" and that he will confront them with all available means "to guarantee the security". It is pertinent to note that since Raisi became President, the persecution –and the rhetoric- against Iranian women who do not wear the hijab correctly has intensified considerably. This made it clear that there is a dispute in the Iranian leadership itself to cement a conservative succession to the supreme leader himself, who is ill and going through the last years of his life. Amini's death has reignited anger over restrictions on personal freedoms in Iran, including strict dress codes for women.
