US Approves Visas for Top Iranian Leaders to Attend UN High-Level Meeting Even with Sides at War
- On Thursday, the State Department approved visas for Iran's "core delegation," including President Masoud Pezeshkian and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, to attend next week's United Nations General Assembly in New York.
- As host to the United Nations, the United States is generally limited in preventing foreign leaders from attending, even amid the six-month-long conflict with Iran and no signs of diplomatic resolution.
- The State Department said the Iranian delegation will face travel restrictions and prohibitions on purchasing luxury goods during the visit, per policy.
- This announcement came one day after the State Department denied visas for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and his delegation seeking to attend the General Assembly.
- According to the United States, Iran remains the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism, and Iranian-backed Houthi rebels continue attacks on Red Sea shipping amid recent U.S. sanctions campaigns.
