> there are seven official allowed haircuts for men > The haircuts were an official announcement from the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance

(you just moved the goalposts from "officially allowed" to "an official announcement")

In your link to a BBC article from SIXTEEN YEARS ago, the closest it comes to saying "officially allowed" or "official announcement" is...

"published a guide".

There is no "officially allowed" list of seven haircuts in Iran.

It literally does not exist, and yet you are now trippling down on your disinformation.
