A senior Iranian government official accused the United States of poor conduct after Washington denied visas to most of President Masoud Pezeshkian’s media staff and imposed movement restrictions during his trip to the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
Elyas Hazrati, head of the government’s information council, said Pezeshkian faced no pressure to meet US President Donald Trump, insisting the president makes decisions with his own team.
Hazrati dismissed US claims about lavish shopping by Iranian delegations as “nonsense,” adding: “Americans did not give visas to our journalists and this time their behavior was very bad.”
