O governo dos EUA concedeu vistos a oficiais iranianos para que possam viajar à Assembleia Geral das Nações Unidas em Nova York na próxima semana, enquanto a guerra entre os dois países se aprofunda no sétimo mês.
The BBC understands the core delegation permitted to attend includes Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
A spokesman for the US State Department confirmed the decision on Thursday, saying that the delegation will be placed under travel restrictions and will be banned from purchasing certain American products.
A medida vem enquanto a guerra não mostra sinais de acabar. Desde que começou em fevereiro, ela tem impulsionado os preços globais de energia e se expandido para países vizinhos.
Consistent with our host country obligations, the core delegation from the Iranian regime will be able to attend UN General Assembly High Level Week," a spokesman for the US State Department told the BBC.
A delegação estará sujeita a restrições de viagem e enfrentará proibições na compra de bens de luxo e outros produtos de acordo com nossa política. A delegação é menor do que no ano passado.
Last year, diplomats attending from Iran were banned from shopping at wholesale stores like Costco. They also were required to seek permission from the US before purchasing luxury goods, including jewellery, alcohol and cars.
State Department Spokesman Tommy Pigott said the US would prevent the diplomats from "going on shopping sprees" as the Iranian people deal with water and electricity shortages, "brutal repression", and "soaring inflation.
We will not let the Iranian regime's elites exploit UNGA for a luxury retail splurge paid for by the Iranian people's suffering, all while the regime funnels Iran's wealth to support its terrorist proxies," he posted on X, warning New York shops to "be on guard" against selling goods to the delegation.
Ele não indicou se os EUA estavam cientes de algum plano específico da delegação para comprar itens de luxo.
A 81ª sessão da Assembleia Geral das Nações Unidas (UNGA) está em andamento. O Debate Geral - a peça central do evento anual - deve começar na terça-feira.
Tuesday will include speeches from US President Donald Trump, UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham, and France President Emmanuel Macron.
Wednesday is expected to see speeches from the leaders of Ukraine, Syria and Iran.
Public and political pressure has mounted on the White House to find an end to the conflict with Iran, which began on 28 February when the US and Israel launched joint attacks on the country.
Desde o início da guerra, o Irã tem atacado repetidamente bases dos EUA e estados aliados no Golfo, bem como Israel.
The BBC recently learned that the US denied a visa to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and the Palestinian delegation to attend UNGA.
The White House, which does not recognise the legitimacy of the Palestinian delegation, denied them visas for a second year in a row.
