"The failure to issue visas for the delegation accompanying the president, some deputies of the administration and the press pool runs counter to diplomatic obligations that the US government formally assumed as a member of the UN and the host country," RIA Novosti quotes the deputy head of the presidential administration, Parviz Esmaily.
He also noted that US authorities are thus trying to limit Iran’s voice.
Earlier it was reported that Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York will meet with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
