U.S. Approves Visas for Iranian Leaders to Attend U.N. General Assembly

U.S. State Department said Sept. 17 it will admit Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and essential staff for U.N. General Assembly High-Level Week, Sept. 22-29 in New York. Washington cited host-country obligations and limited approval to a scaled-down delegation. How strictly movement limits are enforced will shape sideline diplomacy.
