However, this ernment persecutn do not apply equally to transgenr dividuals; genr reassignment surgery is legal Iran, and formal genr regnn is supported by the Iranian theocracy.Iranian Treatment of HomosexualsDpe cricism om other natns and human rights anizatns, the Islamic Republic of Iran has mataed s practice of nmng same-sex relatns as illegal and morally rpt. Ambassador to Germany at the time of Zarif’s remarks, joed Roth his opposn to the treatment and argued that the executns go agast the UN Universal Declaratn of Human Rights, which clearly tails crimalizatn of homosexualy as a vlatn. Grenell’s sentiments were a ntuatn of the Tmp admistratn’s mpaign which lnched Febary of 2019 to crimnalize homosexualy var natns cludg Iran and lled on global anizatns like the UN and EU ntribute to the effort.LGBT+ rights have been opposn to the Iranian Penal Co sce the 1930s when Parliament passed legislatn crimalizg such relatnships, and disapproval of this discrimatn has tensified over time.
