TEHRAN, June 8 (Xinhua) — Iran on Saturday strongly condemned the new entry ban to the United States for citizens of several countries, including Iran, calling the move “a clear sign of deep-rooted hostility towards Iranians.”
Iran’s Foreign Ministry condemned the US administration’s decision in a statement, saying the restrictions were aimed solely at people based on their nationality and religion, state news agency IRNA reported.
Such policies reflect discriminatory thinking and violate fundamental principles of international law, including the principles of non-discrimination and respect for human rights, the Foreign Ministry added.
The statement calls on the UN and international human rights bodies to publicly speak out against Washington’s “unilateral and discriminatory measures.”
Iran will use all available means to protect the rights of its citizens and respond to the consequences of such actions by the US administration, the statement said. -0-
