Tommy Pigott, deputy spokesperson for the U.S. State Department, said in a statement that the move aims to “maximize pressure” on Iran’s clerical establishment, accusing it of allowing authorities to enjoy luxury shopping abroad while ordinary Iranians face “poverty, failing infrastructure, and shortages of water and electricity.” World leaders gather in New York every September for several days of speeches at the annual United Nations General Assembly, which on Tuesday begins its 80th session.
The United States, its European allies and Israel accuse Tehran of seeking nuclear weapons. Tehran has long denied it. Tensions have heightened between Tehran and Washington since June, when the United States joined Israel and attacked Iranian nuclear sites during a 12-day war between Israel and Iran.
Tehran’s concerns were exacerbated by Trump’s speedy revival of the “maximum pressure” campaign, from his first term as U.S. president, to drive Iran’s oil exports toward zero with more sanctions and bring the country’s already-fragile economy to its knees.
Iran’s foreign ministry did not comment on the U.S. State Department restrictions.
“The security of Americans remains our top priority,“ Pigott said, adding that the U.S. will not let the Iranian regime exploit the U.N. General Assembly to advance what he called its “terrorist agenda” or enjoy privileges denied to its own people.
“These measures send a clear message: the United States stands with the people of Iran in their pursuit of accountability and a better future,“ he said. - Reuters
