UNITED NATIONS: The United Nations told the United States it is concerned by tight travel restrictions on Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif during his visit to New York this week, UN spokesman Farhan Haq said on Monday .
Longtime US-Iran strains have worsened since US President Donald Trump last year quit a 2015 international agreement to curb Iran's nuclear programme in return for sanctions relief. The United States had restricted Zarif's travel"in a manner that is fully consistent" with its obligations under a 1947 agreement with the United Nations, the US State Department official said.
Iran Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi said that all of Zarif's meetings, interviews and speeches would be done at the United Nations, the Iranian UN mission or the Iranian UN ambassador's residence. Iranian diplomats, like the envoys of North Korea, Syria and Cuba, are already confined to a radius of 25 miles from Columbus Circle in Midtown Manhattan.
