The ongoing protests against the hijab in Iran have now reached an important stage. It is reported that it has been decided to disband the units of ‘Moral Police’ in Iran.
The job of this police was to enforce the Islamic dress code which includes hijab. According to the news coming in the media, the Attorney General of the country has given this information. But believe the news published in BBC, ‘Attorney General Mohammad Jafar Montageri’s comment has not yet been confirmed by other agencies, he made this statement in a program on Sunday.’
said in the report. Iran has seen months of protests over the death of a young woman in custody. Mahsa Amini was detained by the Morality Police for breaking the strict rule of covering the head. Montagueri was at a religious conference when he was asked whether the morality police were being disbanded.
He said, ‘The morality police had nothing to do with the judiciary and where Since it was established, it has been closed since then. It is controlled by the interior ministry and not the judiciary.
On Saturday, Montagueri also told the Iranian parliament that a law requiring women to wear the hijab would be considered, the BBC reported. Even if the morality police is abolished, it does not mean that the decades-old law will be changed.
22-year-old Amini in custody on September 16, three days after her arrest by the morality police in Tehran Women-led protests since her death have been called riots by the authorities.
According to the BBC report, the young woman’s death was a catalyst for the unrest, but the discontent was fueled by poverty, unemployment, inequality, There is also injustice and corruption. If demoralized
Abolishing the police is confirmed, it will be a concession, but there is no guarantee that it will be enough to stop the protests.
Iran has had various forms of ‘morality police’ since the Islamic Revolution of 1979, but the latest version, formally known as Gasht-e-Irshad, currently enforces Iran’s Islamic code of conduct. The BBC is the main enforcing agency.
The BBC reported that they began their patrols in 2006 to enforce the dress code, which forbids women from wearing shorts, ripped jeans and other immodest clothing.
Is something big going to happen in Iran?
The social movement that started in Iran on September 16 is so big that experts are scared. Everyone is waiting. Everyone recognizes that something unexpected is happening behind closed doors in Iran and the courage shown by the protesters is unprecedented.
The question is who are these protesters, what is their connection to Iran, and why are they in trouble? What impact could his rebellion have on the regime’s foreign policy?
Dr. Theo Nansin, an expert working on the reorganization of international balance in the Middle East and Central Asia, at the Catholic Institute of Paris According to his views published in PTI, the rebel generation born around the year 2000 is hungry for freedom. This desire is so great that they seem prepared to accept the consequences of any rebellion against the regime in Tehran. As of this writing, the demonstrations have resulted in 448 deaths and nearly 15,000 arrests.
Dr. According to Nensin, ‘Unlike their elders (more fearful of the consequences of rebellion against the regime, and whose rebellions, like the ‘Green Movement’ of 2009, were still within the political framework of the Islamic Republic), this younger generation seems willing to pay a heavy price in the name of his ideals.
Nensin believes that the effect of social networks on his ability to stay connected with the world, and to receive his peers in other parts of the world The restriction there compared to the freedom is undoubtedly one of those reasons. It is difficult to estimate the long-term effects of the current movement. However, it is likely that the socio-political situation in Iran will change.
The magnitude of the insurgency is such that even if it is completely crushed (like the ‘Iranian Tiananmen’ the cost of several thousand victims However), the mode of coexistence between the regime and the population will be significantly affected. These demonstrations are increasing day by day. Unlike previous generations, young people dare to hold their representatives accountable.
Khamenei’s ideological legacy is far from over for these young adults now entering active lives, which if the 1979 Leave aside the revolution, neither do they know the war against Iraq (1980-1988), nor the mobilization of families, the bombing of cities, nor the fierce repression that followed. Another trend reinforces this generational change. As the French Islamist Olivier Roy predicted in the 1990s, the establishment of a regime based on religion in Tehran has, paradoxically, contributed to the secularization of Iranian society.
< p>‘‘Asianization’’
‘‘Asianization’’of Iran’s foreign policy This development of society-power relations in Iran cannot be fully understood in its proper measure without taking into account the geopolitical context within it. However, Iran’s approach in foreign policy matters has been ‘‘Asianization’’ is heading towards. The geopolitical situation in the Middle East is centered around two opposing poles.
One is constituted by Shia dominated Iran and its regional allies, the other is anti-Iran driven by the US, Israel and Saudi Arabia. alliance.‘‘Asianization’’ This process led to Iran’s membership of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO).
However, the establishment of militia presence in Iraq and Lebanon, and the Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria and the Houthi rebels in Yemen Beyond forging an alliance with Iran, this strategy has not yielded the expected economic benefits. All of these countries are bankrupt or ruined, and it is unlikely that the alliance will achieve any significant dominance in the medium term.
The use of Iranian-made drones in Ukraine by the Russian military The experiment proves that the strategic cooperation between the two countries is at an advanced level, and also that the powers in Tehran and Moscow are moving in the same direction in the name of confronting the West at the instigation of China. < /p>
This new Eurasian activity is also giving rise to a proliferation of diplomatic initiatives by Iran on a continental scale with other important partners, such as Turkey, India, Pakistan and the Soviet republics.
Iran’s involvement in major Chinese (Belt and Road Initiative, BRI) and Russian-Indian (International North-South Transport Corridor, INSTC) infrastructure projects reflects the Iranian leaders’ desire to link the country’s development to a network of intercontinental connectivity slowly taking shape outside Western control.
Even after facing four decades of isolation, the Iranian The regime, which was once the ‘‘untouchable’’ China is proving to be a respectable and worthy partner for the Eurasian continent in view of the current geopolitical situation.
Moving towards Chinese-style social control?
But what is the relationship between this geopolitical shift and the protest movement? Right now both the activities are emerging in different ways. The rebellion emerged from a generational and secular transition.
In contrast, ‘‘Looking East’’ The policy is a priority for the regime, which has an interest in strengthening its ties with China and Russia. Along with this, cooperation with these countries in the field of new technologies (artificial intelligence, face recognition, algorithms) is also likely to increase.
The winds of Chinese-style social control are hovering over Iran. The fact is that a system of social control, however effective it may be, can only be effective if it instills fear in the population. However, the wall of fear in Iran is slowly crumbling.
