In many interviews people keep saying that in Islamic countries the Hijab is totally optional, but that the woman want to wear it. Now we're finding out the woman that don't want to wear it get shot.

they want to wear it because they dont want to get shot or arrested and tortured

The rumors of the death of the Iranian theocracy unfortunately have been grossly exaggerated.

Just like with everything, Trump backs out last minute after a series of threats.

In most muslim-majority secular countries it's more up to tradition than religion. You won't find wearing hijab that common in Albania, Kosovo, Indonesia or many of the central asian stans.

In Turkey or Jordan you will often see hijabs, but most women don't wear it.

Hell, most muslim women in western countries do not wear it.

Thus, I don't know what kind of data backs such comments.

Of course many like wearing it. As a muslim female friend of mine says "it's very convenient when you don't have time/energy to do your hair to just wear an hijab". My female, christian, SO liked wearing the hijab too in muslim countries (even in those were it's not common) because she finds them fashionable.

But I don't think women want to have to wear it and given the choice it seems clear most don't.

Former Iran used to be mini-skirts and it was not that long ago. Could it feasibly or realistically go back to that? Asking for a friend.

It can if Trump topples the regime. This kind of regime doesn't just "walk away".

Topless and miniskirt policy applies on lolita express jet, back home they have to comply to domestic rules.
