Iran-Israel War And The Hijab

A young Iranian woman who does not wear a mandatory headscarf walks past a section of a residential building targeted during Israeli attacks amid the 12-day war, now displayed outside the City Theater building as an anti-war installation in downtown Tehran, Iran, on August 5, 2025. A group of religious women activists known as the ''Daughters of the Revolution'' holds gatherings in Tehran with the aim of promoting the Islamic hijab. During these events, 313 unveiled or loosely veiled young women voluntarily choose to adopt the hijab and receive blessed headscarves from the shrine of Imam Hussein. This group now uses the emotional impact of the 12-day Iran-Israel war to encourage more youth, especially young women, to embrace the hijab. (Photo by Morteza Nikoubazl/NurPhoto)
