Iranian President Pezeshkian to Attend UNGA Amid US Visa Restrictions on Delegation
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian is set to attend the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York, addressing the assembly on September 23. The US granted visas to Pezeshkian, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, and key delegation members but denied visas to some, including the president's communications team. The delegation faces geographic and commercial restrictions during their stay. Iranian officials criticized the US for these limitations, calling them hostile, while the US cited legal obligations and security measures. Pezeshkian will also hold bilateral meetings and engage with Iranian expatriates in the US.
