Revival of 'Muslim ban' stirs outrage in Iran

The US Supreme Court’s decision to revive part of President Donald Trump's travel ban imposed on citizens from six Muslim-majority countries, including Iran, has angered Tehran, with parliament members accusing the White House of violating the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) nuclear deal reached in 2015 between Iran and the P5+1 nations (China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, the United States and Germany).

Mentioning the travel ban, Seyyed Hossein Naghavi Hosseini, the spokesperson for the Iranian parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, said June 26, “Trump has a racist attitude that will cause his country to suffer. … As nations do not accept racial and ethnic discrimination today, the American policy will end up in a dead end.”
