The United States has refused to grant visas to the media personnel accompanying Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, who is scheduled to travel to New York for the United Nations General Assembly session. This decision means Pezeshkian will attend the event without his media team, potentially impacting press coverage of his activities during the visit.
Habibollah, the director general of public relations at the Iranian president’s office, condemned the US move, describing it as a hostile act that disrupts normal diplomatic and media protocols. The visa denial is expected to complicate the usual arrangements for media coverage and press interactions related to the Iranian president’s participation in the assembly.
Reports indicate that Pezeshkian plans to address the General Assembly and engage in meetings with global leaders during his visit. The incident reflects ongoing tensions between Tehran and Washington, particularly concerning regional conflicts and nuclear negotiations.
Meanwhile, US officials have not disclosed the specific reasons behind the refusal to issue visas to the Iranian president’s media team, leaving the matter unresolved as the UN session approaches.
