The United States has approved visas for Iranian officials to attend the United Nations General Assembly, Middle East Eye reported. The decision comes as the US remains engaged in open violent conflict with Iran.
The visa approvals follow recent US denials of entry to Palestinian officials seeking to attend the same UN gathering, creating a contrast in Washington's diplomatic approach to the two delegations.
