s0nicfan 09/22/22 3:58:15 PM #7:	Amanpour pointed out that no previous presidents had requested this when she interviewed them outside Iran. She says a Raisi aide told her it was because of "the situation in Iran". Mr Raisi was elected last year and signed an order in August to enforce a new list of restrictions. These included the introduction of surveillance cameras to monitor and fine unveiled women or refer them for "counselling", and a mandatory prison sentence for any Iranian who questioned or posted content against the hijab (headscarf) rules online. Sure, the reason was "because of the situation" and not "because I demand it". I wonder if Raisi will make it through the winter. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
