On the same day Iran launched its first ever attack on Israel, Tehran intensified a less-noticed war at home. Sky News has analysed dozens of videos showing incidents of Iranian authorities targeting women for not properly wearing their hijab according to the regime's sharia law.
In Tehran's Revolution Square, two women clad in long black full hijab approach another woman, dressed in jeans, a long-sleeved shirt and a hijab, or head scarf. She tries to walk away, but one of the women in full hijab grabs her by her sleeve and pulls her back, yanking her onto the ground. She is surrounded, wrapped in a blanket and bundled into a white van.
You can see it on their faces and see it from the huge number of them.' In one video analysed by Sky News, at least six officers wearing yellow vests appear to be arresting one woman outside a train station in Tehran. She resists but fails to break free, and is ushered into a white van. In another video posted the same day authorities announced their campaign, footage shows a cluster of white police cars, vans, and men in uniform in Tehran's Valiasr Square.
