In a move that has sparked outrage among civil society and human rights advocates, Iranian state media reported on Sunday, April 20, that a new agreement has been signed between Iran’s Chief of Police (The State Security Force), Ahmad Reza Radan, and the Minister of Education, Alireza Kazemi. The memorandum grants the SSF new authority within the education system, allowing them to enforce Mandatory hijab regulations in schools.

At the signing ceremony, Education Minister Alireza Kazemi openly pledged allegiance to the notorious police chief, referring to himself as a "proud soldier" of Radan. Kazemi described violation of "hijab and chastity" as cultural "threats" that require targeted educational and cultural interventions.
