Iran FM: The Wearing of the Hijab Isn’t the Principal Challenge in the Region, It’s the Killing of Women and Children in Gaza

EXCERPT:

AMIR-ABDOLLAHIAN (through translator): “It is absolutely not a matter. The hijab is not a matter that can be tied solely to the existence and the part that -- the important part that is played by women in Iranian society. They know full well that vis-a-vis the important part that is played by women in Iranian society, they know full well that vis-a-vis certain social behaviors, they know how to carry themselves. I don't believe today the issue of Iranian women and hijab for Iranian women is not our principal challenge in the region. Our principal challenge in the region is the killing of over 34,000 men, women and children -- Palestinian men, women, and children.”
