Iranian singer Parastu Ahmadi has been released after her arrest following a YouTube concert where she performed without a headscarf, defying strict Islamic dress codes. President Massud Peseschkian has vetoed a controversial headscarf law that imposed severe penalties for violations, amidst rising domestic dissent and global praise for Ahmadi’s courage. The development signifies a potential power struggle within Iran’s political landscape between hardline and moderate factions, with implications for future governance and societal norms.
