Iranian state media said millions turned out for the government rally in most cities and towns around the country, swearing allegiance to the clerical establishment and its hard line top authority, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. But videos circulating on social media showed school students who were not even willing to chant \u201cdeath to America\u201d. The voices on the videos said that students were forced to participate adding \u201cdeath to Khamenei\u201d. Complaints Over Iran\u2019s Police Brutality Against Girls Overturned by Court According to state media, two female students who had filed a complaint against Iran\u2019s police brutality when trying to arrest them for \u201cimproper veiling\u201d were told that there was not sufficient evidence to back their claims. \u201cThe 9th Branch of the Prosecutor\u2019s Office of the Armed Forces Judiciary Committee overturned the case, arguing that there was not sufficient evidence,\u201d Mohammad Hossein Aqasi, a lawyer who represented the two students said. This is while the video of Iran\u2019s police brutality with the two girls was widely circulated on social media at the time. Iranian University Adds Restrictions to Dress Code for Women and Men The Azad University system in Iran has issued a guideline restricting the dress code for its male and female students. Based on the new instructions, the female lecturers and students are not allowed to wear loose dresses in the common areas of dormitories, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) affiliated Fars News Agency (FNA) reported on Saturday, November 3. Furthermore, female students are prohibited to wear short sleeve mantos (manteau, or a loose dress that hides the curves of the body). Wearing Mantos with lively colors and thin body cloaks, as well as using &quot;excessive&quot; jewelry and heavy makeup have also been forbidden. Meanwhile, male students should avoid &quot;unconventional&quot; hair styles, very short sleeve shirts and tight pants, boxer shorts, low seat pants, ties and bow ties. GCC: Importance of Confronting Iran Regime Gulf Cooperation Council Secretary General Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani emphasized on the importance of confronting the Iranian regime\u2019s meddling that is threatening international shipping lines and commerce in the Red Sea. These remarks came in an interview with the London-based Al Sharq Al Awsat on Friday. The Iranian regime\u2019s behavior is making regional states insecure and unstable, and this regime\u2019s decision to export its extremism and religious\/fundamentalist beliefs is a threat for its neighboring countries, Al Zayani added. Speaking at the 27th annual American\/Arab policymakers conference in Washington, Al Zayani said the Iranian regime is determined to export its revolution and fundamentalist ideas, threatening neighboring countries and violating all international accords and laws.\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:853px;margin:5px;\"><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iran news in brief, November 5, 2018Pompeo Defends Waivers to Iran Sanctions Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is defending the Trump administration&#8217;s reimposition of sanctions against Iran from conservative critics [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":30,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[178],"class_list":{"0":"post-211016","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-iran-news-in-brief","7":"tag-save"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Iran news in brief, November 5, 2018 - NCRI<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Iran news in brief, November 5, 2018Pompeo Defends Waivers to Iran Sanctions Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is defending the Trump administration&#039;s reimposition of sanctions against Iran from conservative critics who argue more should be done to isolate the country.In an interview with &quot;Fox News Sunday,&quot; Pompeo isn&#039;t saying which countries received waivers from U.S. sanctions to continue importing Iranian oil.
