US Approves Visas for Iranian Delegation to Attend UN General Assembly

The United States has approved visas for a delegation from Iran to attend the United Nations General Assembly, according to a report by Anadolu Agency.

A State Department spokesperson was quoted as saying that the "core delegation from the Iranian regime will be able to attend the UN General Assembly."

The statement did not specify the size or composition of the delegation, nor did it provide additional details on the scope of the visa approvals.

The UN General Assembly regularly draws senior officials and diplomats from member states, including Iran, which has historically sent representatives despite periods of strained relations with Washington.

Anadolu Agency did not provide further comment from Iranian officials regarding the visa approvals at the time of publication.
