White House creates obstacle in visa issuance for Iran president (Updates to add quotes)
Tehran, March 23, IRNA - The White House has created obstacle in issuing visa for Iranian president to take part in the meeting of the Security Council.
President mahmoud Ahmadinejad decided to go to New York to defend Iranian right at the Security Council debate on Iranian nuclear program on Saturday.
Deputy Foreign Minister for International and Legal Affairs Abbas Araghchi expressed regret at absence of cooperation on part of the US Administration for issuing visa for the Iranian president.
"Despite completing application formality for the visa and the US Administration officials promises to grant visa at the earliest possible time, the visa is not available for the time being. It should have been issued sometime ago," he said.
"It seems the US Administration is following its unilateral approach by visa refusal for the Iranian president. It is blatant violation of the consular undertaking of the UN host country in dealing with visa requests for officials of the United Nations Member States and another indication of the US ill-intention toward Iranian nuclear program."

Plus interesting speculation by HAL9000 - the original poster:
Looks like Ahmadinejad won't show after all? This is an obvious cover story.

No it isn't a violation. Not anymore. Not when Iran broke international law.
