Question: Drug policy according to the Islamic Republic of Iran —

Explanation: In the readings, Iran’s drug policy is shown to have shifted after the Iran–Iraq War, when the state moved away from purely punitive approaches toward more pragmatic policies. This included partial decriminalization and harm-reduction measures, shaped by the massive social and medical consequences of war, addiction, and trafficking rather than by religious doctrine alone. (Reading: Ghiabi, Pluriverse). Quote: “Post-war Iran gradually adopted pragmatic and harm-reduction–oriented drug policies.” (Ghiabi, Pluriverse). (רדיקליזציה היא תהליך שבו אדם או קבוצה מאמצים בהדרגה עמדות, רעיונות או דרכי פעולה קיצוניות יותר ויותר, שלרוב דוחות את הנורמות המקובלות בחברה.)
