The United States has approved visas for Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, and other members of Tehran’s core delegation to attend the upcoming United Nations General Assembly in New York, despite the two countries remaining engaged in a conflict that began earlier in the year.

The State Department stated that the decision aligns with Washington’s obligations as the host country of the UN. However, the Iranian delegation will face specific restrictions during their visit, including limits on travel and prohibitions on purchasing luxury goods and wholesale club memberships. State Department officials emphasized that these measures are intended to prevent visiting Iranian officials from engaging in luxury purchases while ordinary citizens in Iran face economic difficulties. Additionally, the size of Iran’s delegation for this year’s assembly is reported to be smaller than last year’s.
