Tehran, Iran – Iran has relaunched patrols by the so-called morality police as authorities escalate their efforts to enforce the country’s mandatory hijab rules.

Saeid Montazeralmahdi, the spokesperson for the Iranian law enforcement force, confirmed on Sunday that police patrols were now operational on foot and with vehicles to crack down on people whose covering is not deemed appropriate in the Islamic Republic.

Do your part, don't let your country become a theocracy, actively oppose any politicians that mention religion when asking for votes.

Also take care to not get your democratically elected prime minister couped by monarchist-supporting western powers, where the monarch himself is so bad that he gets deposed by a popular multi-front revolution.

Unfortunately after the revolution the theocratic elements reigned supreme and destroyed or sidelined many of the other groups.

Yes ! always funny to see comments like that, it's the same as the "don't be sad !" Answer to depression.
