Iran has condemned President Trump's recent travel ban impacting nationals from Iran and other countries, labeling it as racist and indicative of a supremacist mindset within US policy. The executive order, which builds on previous bans, restricts travel from 19 countries, raising concerns about international legal norms. Iranian officials argue that the ban signifies broad hostility against Muslims and infringes on fundamental rights to travel, while emphasizing the longstanding absence of formal US-Iran relations since 1980, despite a significant Iranian diaspora in the US.
Alireza Hashemi-Raja criticized Trump's travel ban as a sign of America’s 'supremacist and racist mentality' while calling the restrictions a breach of international legal norms.
The Iranian official emphasized that these policies reveal a deep-rooted hostility towards Iranians and Muslims, denying millions their basic travel rights based on nationality.
