Police shut down five cafes and restaurants southwest of Tehran for allegedly operating without permits and violating the Islamic Republic's social conduct regulations, Iranian state broadcaster IRIB reported on Saturday.

Police inspected 16 businesses in Robat Karim and the nearby city of Parand, closing five for failing to comply with licensing requirements and rules governing public behavior.

Such violations often refer to enforcement of mandatory hijab rules for women, although authorities did not specify which regulations the five businesses had violated.
