Badly-veiled women can't fly. (In Iran)
Gotta keep them in line -
Really is the Dark Ages in that place.

Iranian police have prevented 50 women from boarding flights in their ongoing crackdown on dress styles deemed to be out of line with Islamic dress rules, officials said on Sunday. "Fifty badly-veiled women were prevented from boarding domestic and international flights for failing to respect Islamic dress rules," said the head of airport police Mamoud Bot-Shekane, according to the Fars news agency. He said that the airport police have handed out "17 135 warnings to women who are not fully respecting the Islamic veil and 850 of them have had to make a written pledge to respect the veil more." Out of these, the cases of 80 women as well as 50 men have been sent to the judicial authorities, he added.
Iran's police have been enforcing a nationwide crackdown on slack dressing for the past three weeks - a regular pre-summer event that has been pursued with increased vehemence this year. Women in Iran are obliged to cover all bodily contours and their heads but in recent years many have pushed the boundaries by showing off naked ankles and fashionably styled hair beneath their headscarves. Some conservatives have applauded
the crackdown as important to protect the security of society but moderates have publicly questioned 
whether Iran would be better off tackling poverty and crime rather than slack dressing. Iran's police chief Esmaeeli Ahmadi Moghadam has insisted that the crackdown is not temporary and will continue.

For a country whose PM is probably the worst-dressed male on the planet, one would think they would first focus on their men. Can't use a shaver, wears a suit without a necktie, shirt collar all over the place - simply awful.
I`d keep as far away as possible.

The heat must be starting to squeeze the cranial dura again......
Typical- wait 'till Ramadan kicks in......
Might I suggest a nice colombian necktie to go with that 100% kashmere/polyester suit or would that be a little inflammatory of me.?
