If he's a Dutch citizen with a Dutch passport and he's departing from The Netherlands, he'll have no problem. I'm not sure why you're repeating the obvious.

Anything done at a national scale is going to negatively impact some people, and no one pretends this isn't inconvenient for the people whose travel plans have been pushed back a couple of months. The calculation is that their inconvenience is a worthwhile tradeoff for the opportunity to ensure our admission procedures are doing a good job preventing the ingress of terrorists.

What is your point? The implication by OP's wording is that he is Iranian and Dutch by blood, but a Dutch citizen.
