Iran official: Trump travel ban is an 'obvious breach' of nuclear deal

28 Jun 2017 - 11:23


AP - A prominent Iranian lawmaker has denounced the Supreme Court's partial reinstatement of President Donald Trump's travel ban, claiming that it's an "obvious breach" of the 2015 nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers, including the United States.

Hossein Naghavi Hosseini, spokesman of the parliament's committee on national security and foreign policy, says the ban's reinstatement is "a new restriction in the post-nuclear-deal era that is considered an obvious breach of the deal."

Hosseini claimed that under the nuclear deal, countries that signed it are prohibited from imposing new restrictions or sanctions on Iranians. But he did not explain how that is connected or relevant to the travel ban.

His remarks were carried by the official IRNA news agency on Tuesday. Iran is one of the six mostly Muslim countries that are included in the travel ban.
