Today's Highlighted Video Story: Iran's morality police, which is tasked with enforcing it's strict Islamic dress code, is being disbanded, the country's attorney general says. Mohammad Jafar Montazeri made the comments at a religious conference on Sunday, though they are yet to be confirmed by other agencies. He said the morality police had “nothing to do with the judiciary and have been shut down from where they were set up”. Iran has seen months of protests after the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who had been detained by the morality police for allegedly breaking strict rules on head coverings
