The 21-second video, posted by journalist Dahlia Kurtz, captures a crowd dancing energetically at night without hijabs, quickly gaining tens of thousands of views. It surfaced during Iran's largest protests in years, sparked by economic woes on January 8 and now challenging Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's rule across nearly 200 cities, with women leading acts of defiance like this one echoing the 2022 Woman, Life, Freedom movement. Supporters hail it as women seizing real power—a pun on Tavanir's name meaning 'power' in Persian—while critics point to pro-regime rallies and question its context amid broader unrest. The clip's exact origins remain unverified, with no statement from Tavanir.
Brave Iranian women challenge the Islamic regime by singing, dancing, and removing their hijabs, all of which are forbidden and punishable by death under Sharia law.
