The Spin

Anti-Iran narrative

The case of Sara Khadem shines a light on the experiences suffered by Iranian women under the country's theocratic regime, as she has been forced to flee to an adopted country in order to live a free life. Iran must end its discriminatory laws, or protest against state policies of arbitrary detention, torture, and denial of education, employment, and public spaces to women may one day turn the nation to ruins.

Pro-Iran narrative

While enemies of Iran attempt to create division in the country's foundation by opposing the Islamic headscarf, Iranian women and girls are refusing to surrender their Muslim identity. The hijab is unquestionably a religious necessity, as well as a practical principle of a nation that bolsters the traditional family. The state will do everything possible to protect and uphold divine policy, so as to keep its population unified and promote stability in Iranian society.
