In response to President Donald Trumps executive
order restricting entry of travelers from seven
Muslim-majority countries including Iran, the Iranian
government has responded announcing it would
also not allow Americans to enter its country.
On Saturday, Iran’s Foreign Ministry released a
statement on state-run media saying:
“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.”
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani
condemned President Trump’s actions in
an address at a tourism conference in
Tehran televised live on Saturday on state
television.
“Today is not the time to erect
walls between nations. They have
forgotten that the Berlin wall fell
years ago.
