US President Donald Trump’s new travel ban is proof of his fake empathy for Iranians, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said.
According to him, the updated US entry ban was "even more offensive".
"Trump’s fake empathy for Iranians rings ever more hollow, with his new and even more offensive travel ban against such outstanding citizens," Zarif said on his Twitter page.
On Sunday, the White House announced the updates in the US "travel ban" which will affect the citizens of Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Yemen, as well as Venezuela, North Korea and Chad. The new entry restrictions block the issuance of all visas for Iran, except those of students and exchange visitors. Travel restrictions will also target business or tourist visas for government officials from Venezuela and their families as well.
