Iran has expanded its dog walking ban to 18 cities, including Isfahan and Kerman, citing public health and safety concerns. This move has intensified the ongoing debate over pet ownership in the country.

The ban, initially enforced in Tehran, now affects cities like Ilam, Isfahan, and Kerman. Authorities claim dogs in public spaces cause 'fear and anxiety,' leading to stricter regulations.

In 2019, Tehran's police chief stated that dogs 'create fear and anxiety' among the public, leading to the initial ban on dog walking in the capital.
