WORLD Wednesday, June 27, 2018 Protests in Iran as Rouhani says U.S. wants ‘economic war’ DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Angry protesters in Iran’s capital held a third day of demon- strations over the country’s anemic economy as President Hassan Rou- hani told the nation that it faces an “economic war” with the United States following America’s pullout from the nuclear deal. While online videos showed demonstrators again confront- ing police on Tehran’s streets and alleyways, the protests looked far smaller than those on Monday, when security forces fired tear gas on crowds in front of parliament. Earlier on Monday, demonstra- tors forced the temporary closure of Tehran’s Grand Bazaar. Rage persists over the plunging of the Iranian rial to 90,000 to the dollar — double the government rate of 42,000 rials to $1 — as peo- ple watch their savings dwindle and shopkeepers hold onto some goods, uncertain of their true value. Part of the economic uncer- tainty comes from President Don- ald Trump’s decision to pull Amer- ica out of the nuclear deal and re-impose sanctions on Iran, even though other world powers have pledged to stand by the accord. Dutch parliament approves limited ban on burqa, niqab THE HAGUE, Nether- lands (AP) — The Netherlands has approved a limited ban on East Oregonian “face-covering clothing” in public places, including Islamic veils and robes such as the burqa and niqab but not the hijab, which covers only the hair. Firebrand far-right politi- cian Geert Wilders had pushed for the ban for over a decade. The Dutch law is described by the government as “religion-neu- tral,” and does not go as far as more extensive bans in neighbor- ing countries like France and Bel- gium. It applies on public trans- port and in education institutions, health institutions such as hospi- tals, and government buildings. Successive Dutch governments have sought to ban niqabs, which cover most of the face but still shows the eyes, and burqas, which cover the face and body — even though studies suggest that only a few hundred women in the Nether- lands wear the garments. The government said people still have full freedom on how to dress, except when it is nec- essary to have full facial contact — for instance in education and health-related situations.
