The United States has announced restrictions on the movements of Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and his delegation during their visit to New York this week. The decision was made by the State Department, with spokesperson Matthew Miller confirming that additional travel restrictions would be imposed on the minister while he attends a meeting at the United Nations.
According to a source familiar with the matter, the Iranian delegation's travel will be limited to specific areas in New York City. They are restricted to seven blocks north-south and one block west surrounding the UN headquarters in Manhattan, the Iranian Mission to the UN, the residence of their permanent representative to the UN, the six blocks surrounding Queensboro Plaza in Long Island City, and a designated driving route to John F. Kennedy International Airport.
