"Hijabs have been mandatory for women in Iran since the Islamic Revolution of 1979 and the strict law is enforced by the country's "morality police".
Any woman found not wearing one in public faces arrest, a fine or public admonishment. However, players claim by awarding the event to Iran Fide is turning a blind eye to sexual discrimination."
Personally... I blame Obama. Iran should have continued being treated like a pariah. If they wanted to build nuclear weapons in defiance of the greatest nation on earth we should of bombed their pathetic backward and savage country to dust.
