US EditionNo ‘Shopping Spree’ at Costco for Iranian Diplomats, US Says
The U.S. limits Iranian delegates' movement and access to luxury goods during the UN General Assembly to enforce sanctions and prevent privileges unavailable to Iranian citizens.
- The United States has imposed stricter limitations on Iran’s delegation to the United Nations General Assembly in New York, restricting their travel within the city and prohibiting purchases from wholesale retailers and high-end luxury items.
- These measures follow the Trump administration's broader 'maximum pressure' campaign aimed at stopping Iranian officials from enjoying privileges denied to their citizens.
- Iranian officials are required to limit their movements to essential travel between their accommodations and the United Nations for official duties, and are prohibited from acquiring luxury goods like expensive watches and vehicles exceeding specified values.

- The restrictions affirm U.S. commitment to prevent the Iranian regime’s exploit of UNGA for advancing its agenda while supporting accountability and a better future for Iranians.
