US grants visas to Iranian delegation for UN General Assembly amid ongoing war

The US has issued visas allowing an Iranian delegation, including President Masoud Pezeshkian and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, to attend the UN General Assembly High Level Week in New York, the State Department confirmed. The delegation, smaller than last year's, will face travel restrictions and bans on purchasing luxury and other goods. The war between the US and Iran, which began in February, is now in its seventh month and has pushed up global energy prices while spreading into neighboring countries.
