Editorial: The Guardian

• The protests in Iran, triggered by the death of Mahsa Amini in custody, have marked a turning point in resistance against the regime.
• Citizens are risking their lives to stand up against strict female dress code regulations.
• The regime has responded with predictable fury, killing hundreds and arresting thousands.
• Pressure to enforce hijab norms has increased, amidst international attention focused on the conflict in Gaza.
• The battle over the dress code represents a contradiction between the corrupt, brutal regime and the younger generation yearning for social and political freedoms.

Conclusion: Even though the regime has managed to suppress street protests for now, the resistance and echoes of women's desires for freedom will persist.
