A dress code law?
Interesting insight into a new law in Iran:
The law mandates the government to make sure that all Iranians wear "standard Islamic garments" designed to remove ethnic and class distinctions reflected in clothing, and to eliminate "the influence of the infidel" on the way Iranians, especially, the young dress.
It also envisages separate dress codes for religious minorities, Christians, Jews and Zoroastrians, who will have to adopt distinct colour schemes to make them identifiable in public. The new codes would enable Muslims to easily recognize non-Muslims so that they can avoid shaking hands with them by mistake, and thus becoming najis (unclean).

Some are noting the comparison to Nazi Germany where Jews had to wear the Star of David on their clothing as identification.
Of course, American foreign policy is completely to blame.
Separately, an opinion piece in the Washington Post on the likelihood of Iran using oil as a weapon:
