Spokesperson of the Iranian Cultural Committee Ahmad Rastineh stated on Thursday that there are no plans to introduce new legislation regarding the hijab in the country.

"The agenda of the Culture Committee of the Iranian parliament does not include consideration of any new bill on modest appearance and hijab," he said according to the Iranian news agency IRNA.

Iranophobia has been on the rise since western media violently dehumanized Iran's reputation after accusing it of an incident it wasn't responsible for: the death of Mahsa Amini. 

Western countries have been pushing Iran by inciting unrest in the country to force it to yield to foreign demands on many issues that go against Iranian national interest, especially its peaceful nuclear program.

The manipulation of human rights in Western media has long been used to push for an agenda of regime change, and the demonization of Iran is built on narratives of human rights violations.

At the forefront of foreign countries are European states who have been part of the JCPOA or supporters of it, which have in recent years called for a more diplomatic approach in Tehran, which represents a major shift in their political approach and even threatens the possibility of ever reviving the nuclear deal, at least in the foreseen future.
