“Tri cafes were shut down at Qom due to numerous violations, including the lack of women's cover and other questions”, the Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps statement, published in the Hamsar newspaper, says.

The holy city of Shii, Qom, is home to dozens of religious seminars and high clergy.

Many have not fully observed this rule, where over the years they have allowed their head coverings to slide and discover more hair, especially in Tehran and other large cities.
