There were many aftershocks created from the Iranian Hostage Crisis. Even to begin with, the relations between Iran and the West had fallen apart due to the US's dislike for the Islamic Revolution. Cutting much of America's influence on exports of oil, the empowerment of the Islamic people in the Middle East and Iran was not beneficial to the West's need for black gold. The hostage crisis in Tehran cut a ravine of mistrust between Iran and the West. The Iranians accused the West for helping the pre-revolution governance of the country to regain its power. This mistrust of the West's actions leading to the crisis then lead the West to further dislike Iran.
A different aftershock created from the Islamic Revolution makes the culture of Iran more separated from the West. This change is the creation of women's dress code in the Middle East. I believe that when a religious or cultural society of people, such as certain majorities in Iran, is pushed back and forgotten during progress or minimized, then something like a change in dress code to preserve an non-outside influenced culture is completely understandable. I would sympathize with the choice to remain culturally different.
