United States grants visas to Iranian delegation for UN General Assembly
The United States has granted visas to a core Iranian delegation, including President Masoud Pezeshkian and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, to attend the United Nations General Assembly high-level week in New York. The decision follows the U.S. government's obligations as the host nation for the United Nations.
Despite the approval, the delegation faces significant restrictions. Members are prohibited from purchasing luxury goods and are subject to strict travel limitations, with movement restricted to specific locations such as the UN headquarters and JFK Airport. This diplomatic allowance occurs amid an ongoing conflict between the United States and Iran.
In contrast, the U.S. has denied entry to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas for the second consecutive year, citing concerns over actions intended to internationalize the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
