Iran Condemns US Travel Ban and Sanctions
Iran is angry at the United States for two reasons.
First, the US has placed a travel ban, meaning people from certain countries, including Iran, cannot easily enter the US.
Iran believes this is unfair to Iranians and Muslims.
Second, the US has also issued sanctions against people and companies accused of helping Iran with money.
Iran's government says both actions are illegal and show the US is unfriendly towards Iran.
The US claims the travel ban is to keep the country safe from terrorists.
Iran condemned new US sanctions on individuals and entities.
The US sanctioned more than 30 individuals and entities linked to a 'shadow banking' network.
Iran criticized the US travel ban as showing hostility towards Iranians and Muslims.
The travel ban will bar citizens from 12 countries.
Esmaeil Baghaei, the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman, issued the condemnation.
