In response to Donald Trump banning citizens of Iran from entering the United States, Iran has vowed to return the favor.
Iran says they will ban all United States citizens from entering their country, thanks to Trump’s recent executive order.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran has decided to respond in kind after the insulting decision of the United States concerning Iranian nationals”, the ministry said in a statement carried by state television on Saturday.
The US ban is “an obvious insult to the Islamic world and in particular to the great nation of Iran,” the statement continued. “The restrictions against travel by Muslims to America… are an open affront against the Muslim world and the Iranian nation in particular and will be known as a great gift to extremists.”
Iran’s foreign ministry referred to the United States’ ban as “illegal, illogical and contrary to international rules”.
Iran plans to continue their ban on Americans until Trump lifts his ban. The way things are going, this could be a first of many bans heading our way.
