NCRI - Women in Iran have been warned they will have their cars confiscated for three weeks for driving while 'improperly veiled'.
They also face having their vehicles impounded for 'unchaste behaviour' or 'noise pollution' whilst behind the wheel, Tehran's chief of traffic police said.
Hossein Rahimi said the clampdown was part of a 'moral security plan' and at 'controlling and monitoring vehicles and the youth'.
He told the state-run INSA news agency: "In line with the moral security plan, the vehicles of violators will be taken away for three weeks.
"Cases involving driving by individuals who are improperly veiled and commit unchaste behavior or noise pollution inside their vehicles are also included in this plan."
The latest draconian measures against women come after the regime's State Security Forces chief Ahmadi Moqqadam announced earlier this month that: "A new round of moral and social security plans by the police will begin next month.
"These plans are not associated with election issues but will be executed during the election days.
"Their approach will be social and cultural and we are working ensure people do not hate us, but pay attention to us. For this reason, social and cultural measures have been included in this year's plan."
The Iranian regime is re-imposing its 'public security plan' - first launched in April 2007 - to suppress any dissent against the regime.
All the measures are being seen as an attempt to crush any anti-regime protests during the forthcoming June presidential election.
