In fact, it is too little too late. The chief of the Central Bank was sacked and replaced with a new one \u2013 Abdolnasser Hemmati.

The PRC also proposed repealing Iran\u2019s hijab law as one of five approaches the state could adopt to counter waning support of the hijab, arguing that the state\u2019s aim of getting people to embrace it could be achieved in more subtle ways.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6120\" src=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Iranian-Parliamentary-Group-Reports-Drop-in-Support-For-Strict-Hijab-min-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Iran Events\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" onerror=\"this.src='https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/themes\/hello-elementor\/images\/broken-image-placeholder.gif';this.srcset='https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/themes\/hello-elementor\/images\/broken-image-placeholder.gif';\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Iranian-Parliamentary-Group-Reports-Drop-in-Support-For-Strict-Hijab-min-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Iranian-Parliamentary-Group-Reports-Drop-in-Support-For-Strict-Hijab-min.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iran Event Iran: The Harmful Influence of Revolutionary Guars and Quds Force on Road Construction Projects The presence of semi-public companies (i.e., those depending on the police, army, and defence ministry) in road construction projects, is rapidly increasing by the day.
