Now don't get me wrong. I'm an Orthodox Jew, and Mrs. Carl covers her hair (not with a hijab) and wears sleeves below the elbow and skirts below the knee all the time. But Mrs. Carl does that because she chooses to and because that's how we choose to live our lives. Ashton clearly does not choose to walk around in a hijab. Only in Iran.
As to Ashton's statement, it really is vacuous. It sounds like she just wants an agreement - any agreement. And given that she seems quite unsure that there will ever be one, you have to wonder again why the sanctions were eased at all.

Wait till she celebrates "Women are Chattel Day" in a London Mosque.
