Iran says to ban U.S. visitors in retaliation to Trump move

Iran said on Saturday it would stop U.S. citizens entering the country in retaliation to Washington's visa ban against Tehran and six other majority-Muslim countries announced by new U.S. President Donald Trump.

"While respecting the American people and distinguishing between them and the hostile policies of the U.S. government, Iran will implement the principle of reciprocity until the offensive U.S. limitations against Iranian nationals are lifted," a Foreign Ministry statement said.

"The restrictions against travel by Muslims to America... are an open affront against the Muslim world and the Iranian nation in particular and will be known as a great gift to extremists," said the statement, carried by state media.

The U.S. ban will make it virtually impossible for relatives and friends of an estimated one million Iranian-Americans to visit the United States

Earlier on Saturday, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said it was no time to build walls between nations and criticised steps towards cancelling world trade agreements, without naming Trump.

So Iran is going to block Americans visiting Iran? Seems fair enough to me.

What do you think the odds are that an Iranian court will grant a temporary restraining order against this? I say none.

 

No one cares.

 

Carter banned the Iranians so they should be used to it by now.

 

So Americans cant go to Iran to become radicalized or to fight for ISIS and then return?

Cool, thanks Iran.

 

Good post.

Regarding your signature. What bit of liberal agenda do you accept?

 

Who in happy hell...

... would even want to go to Iran?

 

This was an obvious and anticipated response. International relations are largely based on reciprocity.

 

Visiting Iran means being taken hostage, the a four or five year wait while your family in the U.S. goes through emotional hell.

Yeah, I can do without that.

 

well there goes my summer vacation plans, might just have to do Orlando instead

 

Oh no not that! I was just going to go on vacation there! I hear the kidnapping is breathtaking this time of year.

 

if getting kidnapped and tortured while being held hostage was on your bucket list I guess you are just out of luck, but you could always try to get into N Korea

 

I still thinking abou Mat Miller. Goes to N. Korea, tears up passport to"see what it feels like" to be the victim of human rights violations. Course after he was sentenced to 6 yrs.hard labor, labor apparently something he'd never considered he'd have to suffer, he begs Obama to intervene! Priceless!

 

And in other news Satan bans Christians from Hell.

 

Oh no what heartbreak. Maybe 5 people give a damn about going to Iran.

 

It is interesting that Tehran has chosen a very measured, careful response to a first president Trump's action. If I was them, I'd cancel nuclear deal.

 

ISIS isn't Shia.

This is a real stupid move by Trump. If he loved the applause less, he could have accomplished this without the fanfare.

 

Like Obama did? On a rainy Friday night, when Congress leaves for vacation?

 

When I run out of sex slaves....

 

Iranians don't care even that you're a recognized foreign diplomat if you can't recite the Koran from memory they'll put a sack on your head and hold you for ransom.

 

Agreed, which is why anyone outside the US is now thinking twice about doing business with the US with the unpredictable man child in office, who could destroy your business any moment by executive order decree or his twitter account.

 

"God created war to maximize Americans geography" Mark Twain
Away from supporting a religious monarchy dictatorship like Islamic republic of Iran as its citizen, United States proceeding to an unknown destination by Trump administrations.
A delusional demented derange president by ordering such an outraged decree to restrict entering Iranian into Uncle Sam territory, simulate the memorial of American dealing to camp interning American-Japanese during 2nd world war just by accusation of birth in terrorism patron countries.
Annually thousands of innocent civilians were killed brutally merely by gun shooting across the United States and there is just the domination of silence in White House or Senate lobbies to let GOA continues this mass murdering in front of millions wide bare eyes.
It would be better to say American authorities sacrificed the bulls adversely. 15 terrorists of September 11th incident, were from Saudi Arabia but in Shindler's list, there is no countries name like KSA why Saudi's petrodollars at Wall Street guaranteed them drastically. This is a white washing of problem and a kind of projection which discriminately encountered to different nations just base on their investments in United state's money market and Trump cabals his people to illustrate himself is persist enough on his presidential campaign promises.

 

People not afraid of things and people different than themselves.

 

Iran says to ban U.S. visitors in retaliation to Trump move

Well F there go our vacation plans...Guess it is on to N. Korea...<sarcasm>

 

It is but people were saying last night it was not a good move by Iran - it feeds into Trump's hands.

 

We all know what happens to Americans who go there anyway-------they are arrested, jailed and held as hostages...
