Arabic term

أفكار طهرانية

Arabic to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature
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!
