Pezeshkian will be the highest-ranking Iranian official to enter the United States since the Middle East war began with US-Israeli strikes on Iran in February.<br \/>\n\u201cIn an unprecedented hostile move by the US government, (US President Donald) Trump has denied US visas to certain members of the president\u2019s high-level delegation, including members of his communications team,\u201d state news agency IRNA reported.<br \/>\nThe Mehr news agency also carried the story, citing a spokesperson for the Iranian presidency, and added that Pezeshkian will address the UN General Assembly on Wednesday. The US has authorised the Iranian delegation to travel for the UN General Assembly but will, like last year, put restrictions in place.<br \/>\nIran\u2019s delegation will not, for instance, be allowed to purchase luxury goods or other items, the State Department said on Thursday. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, part of the delegation to the UN, left Iran on Sunday evening for a stopover in Qatar.<br \/>\nIran says it has conveyed to the US, via Qatar as mediator, conditions for reopening the strategic Strait of Hormuz oil and gas shipping route, which it has choked off since the war began.
