Claimant: Social Media (Iran)
Claim: Iran has lifted the legal requirement for women to wear the hijab.
Rating: FALSE
Explanation: Iran’s hijab mandate remains in place under Article 638 of the Islamic Penal Code. While enforcement was temporarily relaxed, no law has been repealed. Viral claims misrepresent a suspended enforcement bill as a legal repeal.
