The British newspaper The Times said on Friday that Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei ridiculed the Iranian women protesting against the hijab, calling them victims of a Western conspiracy by the United Kingdom and the United States.According to The Times, Ali Khamenei has said that the UK and 'especially' the US have deployed their media to 'attack' the dress code imposed on women in Iran by the authorities.
He said that the aim of the enemies is to spread doubt among the people and shake their faith, which is the main factor for maintaining the country and the Islamic system.
It should be noted that women in Iran have been protesting for decades against the dress code implemented after the 1979 revolution.
On the occasion of National Hijab and Modesty Day on July 12, human rights activists called on women to remove the hijab in a campaign of civil disobedience.
