Iran actress scandal??

It wasn't even that long ago that Iran was somewhat liberal.
I really wonder just how many people in Iran actually agree with this or if it's a small minority that's just being made out to be bigger than it actually is.

Iran is definitely more liberal compared to the other countries in the Middle East, such as Saudi Arabia or Yemen. But things changed when Mohammad Khatami was toppled by the clerics. He was replaced with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who introduced more and more conservative policies.
