You cannot threaten America then seek visa to enter that same America...... He's lucky....in some country or clime, he will be offered visa to enter then assassinated immediately he steps foot....ask Israel and Mossad or KGB and Soviet Union.Those people don't give a f××k.

They've already made their mark in the world. Your country was never world power but if it was wiped off the mapp today, you will only be remembered for how terrible the country and it's people were.

What do you expect

diplomat058:


The UN is a Commonwealth that is accessible by all duly recognized sovereign Members, that is the globally agreed rules of engagement. The Host Country has no right to restrict access; if it must restrict access, then such application must be submitted to the Secretariat beforehand and decided by the Security Council. Another way is if The UN suspends the Islamic Republic just as G-8 suspended Russia when the Latter annexed Crimea. Otherwise, I am afraid this restriction has no legal, diplomatic conventional basis.

Besides, by willfully breaking protocols, Donald Trump is allowing his personality and pychosocial complex to have an excessive bearing on US Foreign Policy and Conduct and this will set a dangerous precedent in International Politics and detroy the remaining fragile compliance framework of States in the system.

Even at the climax of hostilities between the US and Cuba, North Korea, defunct USSR and Russia, restrictions were not placed on the UN attendance of these US' adversaries.

These countries and future aggressors are watching and learning that, after all, they don't have to rely on, play by or care about the rules while redressing their grievances

They can’t be destroying an embassy and expecting to get a visa, ITS NOT DONE!!!!



More so, Iran no get shame

What are you coming to do in America when you are shouting death to America?

Mccullum:
This is abuse of having UN Headquarters in US, denying a foreign minister of a sovereign state visa in order to bar him from attending a meeting that concern his country is immature of US government and breaching of UN rules and regulations. truly Trump is deceiving people and international community on false allegation against the assassinated general.

MagumForce:

Calling Russia “underdeveloped” is an insult to even G-8 that Russia belongs.Broaden your view and read extensively and don’t always believe what you hear,read or see in Western media.US and Russia display their weapons on certain holidays and also as a symbol of power and not as you wrote,”throw fear in the minds of their hapless citizens”.

simplesearch:


If I was Iran I will defer to attend such meeting until things are sorted out. Why will you be in a rush to marry somebody's daughter whose father is at enmity with yours? War and hostility have their price, you can't expect US to freely discuss grave security matter while having their staunch enemy in attendance. By the way president Roosevelt of US coined that phrase ''United Nations'' as used today while also coming off as the highest contributor to it's project, meaning UN is US and US is UN. But if they think they have a case they can forward it to the secretariat for considerations. This decision will definitely not be a permanent one but with what's on ground things have to be sorted out before they can be allowed into such gathering, you can't eat your cake and have it back, if you want to fight be ready for it's outcome.

fernandez1:
Wow.....trump really want to provoked Iran by all means so he can have genius reason for a war with Iran....

Donald ask George w bush Jr about invasion of Iraq in 03 cause of ingenue claim of nuclear weapon by saddam.

War isn't always win win situation.... Think of the impact it will make on ur citizens Donald

DexterousOne:


Zarif is not a terrorist.
And your last statement is inaccurate

maestroferddi:
Knowledge is a boon...

There are precedents: Ronald Regan stopped Yasser Arafat from attending a UN meeting when he was president citing the latter's position as a threat to US national security.

There is actually a law from US Congress forbidding foreign diplomats from setting foot on US soil for UN commitments if they are deemed threats to US national security.

Trump knows his onions...

MrMcJay:
Why is the Iranian minster crying for American visa? He wants to eat Big Mac in New York.

Let him stay in Iran and say whatever he wants to stay. Worst case scenario, let them add him to WhatsApp group let him talk there.

DexterousOne:


Ode like u

You think the diolonst is going there for sight seeing?

The UN Hq is in the USA

UN is neutral

Iran is a member of U.N.
So the diplomats have every right to go there


Doing this is a sign of folly and childishness.
Iran has every right to be there.

Imagine denying an African diplomat access to the AU in Addis Ababa because of the whims of the govt there?


All these comments I see here goes to show that many are uninformed here

tundess:


But not history....

The UN held its session in Geneva and gave audience to Arafat anyway.

when we have African man thinks like this makes me question the type of education you guys received in your country.

I have read similar stupid comments like yours but I decided to ignore them and replied you. Your comment shows that Africans are 500 years behind the rest of the world.

So what stops the Iranian foreign minister from heading to Geneva in due course?

QTEST007:
This is wrong
I wish the UN headquarters can be moved from the US to a less cantankerous nation to allow for all inclusiveness.
