Iran Announces Plans To Ban US Citizens In Retaliation To Donald Trump’s Muslim Ban
US Citizens will be blocked from entering Iran in
retaliation to Donald Trump’s ban on travellers
from seven majority-Muslim coming to the US.
The Iran Foreign Ministry made the
announcement on Saturday, January 28, 2017
that ‘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.
