Title YMCA vs Hijab: How Iranian women are hitting back at moral policing on social media after Khamenei death Source Times of India
Description One widely circulated video showed a young Iranian American woman dancing provocatively to what online observers dubbed the “Trump dance,” a meme adaptation of YMCA choreography synonymous with campaign rallies. She wore a crop top and shorts. She moved without visible inhibition.

Her suspicion was framed as a question of authenticity. Were these women reflective of typical Iranian society, or were they algorithm-friendly theatre?
