US allows Iranian leaders UN entry
The Trump administration will grant visas for top Iranian officials to attend the UN General Assembly next week. The delegation faces strict travel limits and shopping bans.
The United States will grant visas allowing top officials from Iran to attend the United Nations General Assembly in New York during the following week, the State Department said on Thursday afternoon. The decision comes despite an ongoing conflict between Washington and Tehran that began on February 28. Allowing the Iranian delegation fulfills host-country obligations under the 1947 UN headquarters agreement.
