The arrests on Wednesday come as Iranian social media has been awash with criticism of popular underground Iranian singer, Sasy, or Sasan Heidari Yafteh’s, new music video. Called Tehran Tokyo, the video features actresses, including an American porn star, gyrating in kimonos and short bodycon dresses atop cars and inside bars. The clip racked up 18 million views within a week.
