Iran blasts Trump for racist mentality' and hostility to Muslims over travel ban
Briefly

Tehran has condemned the newly reinstated US travel ban affecting Iranians and citizens from eleven mostly Middle Eastern and African nations, characterizing it as an act driven by a racist mentality. The travel restrictions, reintroduced by President Trump following a national security justification after a violent incident in Colorado, have been criticized by Iranian officials, particularly Alireza Hashemi-Raja, who argues that the policy discriminates against people based on nationality or religion. Relations between the US and Iran remain tense, especially after the severance of diplomatic ties in 1979, exacerbating the implications of this ban.
