The United States has denied visa requests for part of Iran’s delegation, which is set to attend the UN General Assembly in New York. The move comes amid heightened tensions between the two nations, with the Iranian government reporting the refusal through state media. The delegation, led by President Masoud Pezeshkian, is expected to arrive in New York on Tuesday for the assembly.
Iranian officials have expressed concern over the visa restrictions, which they say hinder diplomatic efforts. Meanwhile, the UN General Assembly in New York is also hosting other international delegations, including the United States, which is expected to address global issues such as climate change and security.
Separately, Yemeni forces have reported strikes against Houthi fighters and supply lines near Bab al-Mandeb and in al-Bayda, south of the capital. These developments underscore the ongoing regional instability.
The situation highlights the complex diplomatic landscape as world leaders gather to discuss pressing global matters.
