This is a common narrative I’ve been hearing about Iran in mainstream spaces since I started following politics. What exactly is the truth here? How much of it is overblown and what a life of an average woman actually looks like in Iran?

no. There are laws against not wearing a hijab but they have been relaxed significantly over the last couple years and they never had a death penalty attached to them. One woman died in custody a few months back but it was from complications from an existing health condition and she wasn’t being held for not wearing a hijab.
