(Wolfgang Kumm/dpa via AP) Iran says the US Supreme Court's decision to reinstate parts of a travel ban applied to six Muslim-majority countries is "racist" and "unfair." Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Ghasemi was quoted by state TV Wednesday as saying it is "regrettable" that Washington "closes its eyes to the main perpetrators of terrorist acts in the US," the AP reports. The spokesman did not elaborate on who the "main perpetrators" are. On Tuesday, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif called the ban "the greatest gift" for terror groups seeking recruits and urged the US to join "the real fight" against extremists, Reuters reports.
