The president of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has called for an Iranian dress code for men and women alike, the Iranian Students' News Agency (ISNA) has reported.
Ahmadinejad made the announcement earlier this month while he was on a visit to an Iranian textile exhibition. The ISNA quoted Ahmadinejad as saying that Iran should get experts to create a national dress code. The president said that the new outfits should have a variety of forms and colors, but should not be expensive.
"When we say 'Iranian dress code,' we do not only refer to women, but also to men," the president was quoted as saying.

The Iranian parliament has raised the issue of a national dress code several times. It is intended to help replace the current Western-style clothes that some people prefer with more traditional Islamic-style clothing.
Iran plans to make women wear Pakistani- or Indian-style gowns, but it is still unclear what the national outfit for men might look like.
Since 1979, Iran has had a law that all women must have their bodies and hair covered while out of the house. Women who do not obey that rule can be arrested.
In April, the police hinted that they would step up their efforts to enforce the rule, but Ahmadinejad rejected that as unnecessary, saying that women already respected Islamic dress. (DPA)
伊朗學生新聞社（ISNA）報導，伊朗總統艾馬丹加呼籲伊朗男女同樣都應遵循服裝準則。
艾馬丹加本月初參觀伊朗紡織展時宣布服裝準則規定。伊朗學生新聞社引述艾馬丹加說，伊朗應該請專家來打造全國性的服裝準則。總統表示，新的服飾應該款式色彩多元，但價格不應昂貴。
報導引述總統的話：「當我們談到『伊朗服裝準則』時，我們不只指女性，也指男性。」
伊朗國會已數度提出全國性服裝準則的議題，意圖用較傳統的伊斯蘭風服飾來取代現今部分民眾較偏好的西方服飾。
伊朗計畫讓女性穿著巴基斯坦或印度風的長袍，但仍不清楚全國性的男性服飾會是什麼模樣。
伊朗自一九七九年法律就明定，所有出門在外的女性必須將自己的身體與頭髮遮蓋住。不遵守這項法令的女性可被逮捕。
警方在四月時暗指，他們會努力加強執法，不過艾馬丹加則認為沒這個必要，伊朗女性已相當尊重伊斯蘭服飾。 （德通社／翻譯：賴美君）
The US-Israeli war with Iran, which began on Feb. 28, has killed thousands of people, destabilized the Middle East and rocked global energy markets by effectively closing the strait. WHAT IS THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ? Lying between Oman and Iran and linking the Gulf north of it with the Gulf of Oman to the south and the Arabian Sea beyond, the strait is 33km wide at its narrowest point, with a shipping lane just 3km wide in either direction. Perhaps the world’s most important energy shipping channel, the waterway is about 167km long. Following through on an old threat, Tehran effectively closed the strait
Have you ever found yourself desperately feeding coins into a claw machine just because you’ve already spent so much trying to win that stuffed animal? Or maybe you’ve continued watching a boring movie simply because you already paid for the ticket? If so, you’ve experienced the “sunk cost fallacy.” A sunk cost refers to time, money or effort that has already been spent and cannot be recovered. This psychological trap is surprisingly common. You might keep playing a video game you no longer enjoy because you’ve invested countless hours in building your character, or maintain a toxic friendship because you’ve known
