WASHINGTON — The U.S. won't issue Iran's foreign minister a visa to travel to the United Nations later this week, contending there was not enough time to process the request.
A U.S. official confirmed Tuesday that the application couldn't be processed in time. The official wasn't authorized to speak on the record and discussed the matter on condition of anonymity. It's not clear that Zarif's request has been formally rejected, however, which would trigger legal technicalities that could affect future visa applications. The State Department cited visa confidentiality laws that bar the release of such information with certain limited exceptions.
“This is because they fear someone will go there and tell the truth to the American people,” Zarif said earlier Tuesday."But they are mistaken. The world is not limited to New York. You can speak with American people from Tehran too and we will do that.”
