Iranian Delegation Cleared for UN Assembly Amid Tightened US Controls

The State Department confirmed that visas have been issued, though the attendees remain tethered to rigorous movement constraints while on American soil. Beyond geographic boundaries, the delegation is barred from the purchase of luxury items or non-essential goods, maintaining the strict trade enforcement posture currently applied to Iranian officials. This year’s mission marks a notable contraction in size, reflecting a shift in the scale of Tehran’s diplomatic presence at the international forum compared to last year's assembly.
