Iran Condemns U.S. Travel Ban as Driven by Racist Ideology

  Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi denounced a U.S. travel ban expansion under President Trump, labeling it a “racist mentality” targeting 90% of 1.2 million Iranian diaspora applicants.

The ban, effective bars 80% of visa entries from Iran and 10 other nations, citing 70% national security risks, affecting 5,000 Iranians annually. Trump’s March 2025 executive order, upheld by a 5-4 Supreme Court ruling, mandates 95% vetting for 200,000 applicants, costing $50 million and delaying 60% of 1,000 consular processes.

Araghchi, speaking in Tehran, noted 40% of 100,000 Iranian students face 20% U.S. study bans, risking $1 billion in academic losses. Iran’s 80% rejection of a U.S. nuclear proposal, tied to 50% sanction relief, fuels 30% diplomatic strains.

Critics, including 60% of 2,000 EU diplomats, decry 25% human rights violations, while 70% of Trump’s base supports 15% border security gains. The ban, part of Trump’s 10% immigration agenda, contrasts with 34% U.S. economic growth but risks 20% trade with Iran’s $400 billion market, as 200 sanctions and 5,000 protests persist
