Iran Foreign Ministry has announced on Saturday, January 28, 2017,that U.S.
citizens will be blocked from entering the country in retaliation to Donald
Trump’s ban on travellers from seven majority
Muslim countries coming to
the US.
'While respecting the American people and distinguishing between
them and the hostile policies of the U.S. government, Iran will
implement the principle of reciprocity until the offensive U.S.
limitations against Iranian nationals are lifted.
'The restrictions against travel by Muslims to America are an
open affront against the Muslim world and the Iranian nation in
particular and will be known as a great gift to extremists.'
It comes after President Donald Trump on Friday signed an executive order
to suspend visas for citizens of Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan,
Syria and Yemen.
However, a Federal Judge in New York granted an emergency stay on
Saturday night for citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries who have
already arrived in the US and those who are in transit, and who hold valid
visas, ruling they cannot be removed from the US.
