Despite condemnations from the Biden administration and calls to halt executions, Iran has continued to carry out multiple hangings in recent weeks. The Norway-based Iran Human Rights group reported at least 90 executions within the past 18 days, making May the "bloodiest month" in the country over the last five years.

Jaberi's video and her choice of outfit have gone viral, drawing praise and criticism from journalists, political commentators, and government officials. Yashar Ali, a leftist journalist, criticized the model, describing the video as "disgraceful" and questioning its effectiveness in shedding light on the issue. Meanwhile, Michael Doran, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, viewed Jaberi's dress as an eye-catching form of protest.
