Iranian men better stay away from the jewelry box.
Iran has deployed thousands of "moral police" to patrol the streets of Tehran, cracking down on men wearing necklaces and going after women for wearing loose-fitting head scarves, tightened overcoats and shortened pants that show skin, according to The Guardian.
The Iranian parliament says the garb is "un-Islamic" and the crackdown is aimed at combating "the western cultural invasion."
More than 70,000 trained forces were sent out on the streets in Tehran and other cities to enforce the plan, according to the U.K. paper.
"The enforcement of the moral security plan was requested by the nation and it will be continued until people's concerns are properly addressed," said Ahmadreza Radan, the deputy commander of the Iranian police, according to The Guardian.
The head of the "moral police" is appointed by Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said previously he is against this sort of crackdown.
Residents in the Iranian capital say the crackdown is just spreading fear among the population.
"It's not only about clamping down on clothing, but they are spreading panic and fear by sending out this much of police into the streets under the name of this plan, to control the society. It's unbelievable to see a regime that is not only concerned about its own survival, but it goes into your personal life and interferes in that," one resident told the paper.

It's hard work being a Saudi religious policeman. You never know when you're going to get whupped by an unmarried woman.
When a Saudi "virtue" cop approached a couple socializing at an amusement park in the city of Al-Mubarraz, he likely wasn't expecting what came next -- a beating from a young Saudi woman.
The religious police officer demanded that the couple provide identification and state their relationship to one another, according to the Saudi daily newspaper Okaz, the Jerusalem Post reported.
The young man collapsed during the questioning, but the woman reportedly became enraged and punched the officer repeatedly in the face, sending him to the hospital, the Post reported.
The Man Collapsed and the woman delivered a Beatdown ? WTF .
Saudi law prohibits women from socializing with unrelated men. The law also forbids them to drive, fly aircraft, inherit money or be seen in a public space without a male guardian.
Officers of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice are responsible for enforcing such laws but a wave of resistance in recent months has made the job difficult.
No statement on the incident has so far been made by the religious police or by the regular police, according to Okaz, the Post reported.
If the unidentified woman is charged she could face a long prison term, as well as body lashes.

Women With Suntans Will Be Arrested, Iran Police Chief Warns
And the Leaders of Iran Would like to be looked up to ,
Foxnews
Women with suntans are violating Islamic law and will be arrested in Iran, the capital city's police chief was reported by The Daily Telegraph as saying Wednesday.
"The public expects us to act firmly and swiftly if we see any social misbehavior by women, and men, who defy our Islamic values," Brigadier Hossien Sajedinia said.
"In some areas of north Tehran we can see many suntanned women and young girls who look like walking mannequins," he continued. "We are not going to tolerate this situation and will first warn those found in this manner and then arrest and imprison them."
The warning follows recent comments made by a hard-line Iranian cleric, who claimed women dressed in revealing clothing were disturbing young men and causing earthquakes.
A preacher has also told the residents of Iran's capital Tehran to leave the city.
"Go on the streets and repent for your sins. A holy torment is upon us. Leave town," said Ayatollah Aziz Khoshvaqt during a recent sermon in northern Tehran.
