The haircuts were an official announcement from the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance: https://www.bbc.com/news/10527088 https://www.bbc.com/news/10527088 And it didn't stop here: https://www.bbc.com/news/newsbeat-32587418 https://www.bbc.com/news/newsbeat-32587418 A few of my friends went there and I talked with a few Iranians whose families moved out. Yeah, the people are welcoming and you can have an amazing experience there, but it's still a theocratic regime. All the things you did happened because those who want to control everyone simply can't be everywhere at all times. You don't see people in the west getting the death penalty for their political activity like you do in Iran. My country also tried to interfere with people's private lives decades ago, but fortunately that system collapsed. You can't make the argument that the common person enjoys the same freedom in Iran as they do in the west.
