Arabic term or phrase: أفكار طهرانية
Hi everyone,

This is a from a Palestinian text where a daughter was talking to her mother about the revolution in Chile that happened a while ago.

I'm not sure what Tehrani ideas mean? I feel like I'm missing some cultural piece here.
In this next part specifically, the mother is talking to her daughter.


أحدثك عن أخطاء الثورات. تحدثينني عن جرائم الأنظمة. أحذرك من اعتناق أفكار طهرانية غير قابلة للتلون، تحذّرينني من ارتداء ألوان لا تناسبني.

Thank you!
