Tuesday marks three years since massive protests broke out in Iran following the death of Mahsa Amini, who died after she was arrested for allegedly wearing her hijab headscarf improperly.



Her death in 2022 sparked protests across the country. Protesters clashed with security forces. A UN report says 551 people were killed.



Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian last month announced a new policy, suggesting that the government would stop enforcing rules against women who do not wear the hijab. He said such enforcement could lead to domestic conflict.



This suggests that the government has become more sensitive to public opinion after the country was attacked by Israel and the United States.
