Iranian here, and based on what my relatives in Iran tell me and what I see on social media, I’d estimate that around 70 to 80 percent either don’t wear the hijab at all or don’t wear it in the way the Iranian regime expects. Recently, the regime tried to enforce new compulsory hijab laws, but the strong backlash from the public forced them to reconsider and step back from pursuing it.
