Iran Condemns Trump's New Travel Ban: A Hostile Act?

Iran Condemns Trump's Travel Ban as Act of Hostility Tehran, Iran – Iran has strongly condemned the travel ban announced by former US President Donald Trump, restricting entry from several Muslim-majority countries, including Iran. The ban, which takes effect on Monday, has been met with widespread criticism internationally. A senior official from Iran's foreign ministry released a statement calling the ban a "deep-seated hostility" towards the Iranian people and the Muslim faith. The official described the ban as a violation of international law and norms. "This is a blatant violation of international law and demonstrates the deep-seated hostility of the US towards the Iranian people and Muslims," the official stated. The travel ban affects citizens from Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, Iran, and Yemen. President Trump previously implemented similar restrictions during his first term, from 2017 to 2021. The current ban has raised concerns about its impact on international relations and humanitarian issues. While the ban is intended to enhance national security, critics argue it is discriminatory and ineffective. The international community awaits further developments and potential legal challenges to the ban.
