US denies visas to Iranian UN delegation
The United States refused to issue visas to members of the Iranian delegation accompanying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, who was scheduled to visit New York to participate in the United Nations General Assembly sessions. Raisi is the highest-ranking Iranian official to visit the United States since tensions in the Middle East escalated following American and Israeli strikes on Iran in February. Iranian news agencies reported that, according to Mehr and IRNA, Trump rejected granting the visas in an "unprecedented hostile manner," and the United States imposed restrictions on the movements of the Iranian delegation members, including bans on purchasing luxury goods, a step that was repeated for the same reasons last year.
