Iranian women who fail to wear the veil when driving will have their cars impounded for a week and are likely to be fined, the Iranian regime's police warned Sunday.
In the past week, about 10,000 motorists have received warnings, with 2,000 facing further action for breaking "social norms," but the new measure to confiscate cars will come into force nationwide, AFP reported.
The regime's deputy police chief Said Montazer-ol-Mehdi said officers had been authorised by prosecutors to take such steps.
If traffic police spot an unveiled woman driver or passenger, "their car will be taken to a police compound for a week", he said, according to the official state news agency IRNA.
Some owners will be fined but other offenders will be referred to judicial authorities for further investigation, he added.
"A number of officials, army and government chiefs and covert police agents have been given access to a system set up to report the violations," Montazer-ol-Mehdi said of the latest campaign.
"These trustees will report the license plate of violators and the cars will be flagged for further investigation," he added.
