US Bars Iranian Officials from Luxury Shopping During UNGA
The US State Department has announced it will continue to prohibit senior Iranian officials attending the UN General Assembly in New York from shopping at major retailers or luxury goods stores. This includes Iranian UN Mission officials, visiting officials, and their families. The move aims to prevent regime officials from exploiting their stay in New York for luxury purchases while ordinary Iranians face brutal repression, water and electricity shortages, and sharp price increases. The US also urges New York-area retailers to avoid facilitating purchases barred under these restrictions.12 sourcesSee all sources
