The Trump administration is barring Iran’s top diplomat from entering the United States this week to address the United Nations Security Council about the U.S. assassination of Iran’s top military official in Baghdad, violating the terms of a 1947 headquarters agreement requiring Washington to permit foreign officials into the country to conduct U.N. business, according to three diplomatic sources.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif requested a visa a “few weeks ago” to enter the United States to attend a Jan. 9 Security Council meeting on the importance of upholding the U.N.

So, this cushy couple choose to live in the USA, rather than the *supreme* Iran??
Send them to Iran...along with EVERY lib who defends this evil, dead terrorist.
“The UN building would make a dandy hotel, once it’s fumigated.”
Let’s get “their” treasures out first.
The airplane “black box” discovered earlier this year at United Nations Headquarters in New York – stored in a locked file cabinet for the last 10 years – is not linked to the crash in 1994 that killed the Presidents of Rwanda and Burundi and set off the Rwandan genocide, a UN probe has concluded.
Thanks piasa.
So good!
The three diplomatic sources can stuff their opinion where the sun doesn't shine.
dems will regret any Bolton testimony
Move the meeting to Iran.
They’d last about 3 seconds in Iran and they know it. They’re confident they’ll never have to go there because Iran needs them here to use them and their contacts as an informal lobbying group.
Trump’s fault....
business man means business
Move the UN out of the US and this kind of thing just can’t happen.
Put it in Yemen.
Or Somalia.
No visa problems there.
Move the UN to Syria
Bolton was our ambassador to the UN.
He had nothing but contempt for the place.
Potus is singing his song.
Move the f’n UN to Tehran. Problem solved.
The three stooges. Friends of Nancy and Chuckie.
Maybe this will motivate the UN to move its headquarters.
They hate us anyways.
Maybe he can give the dem rebuttal to the SOTU speech.
And exorcised.
Yes....maybe the UN will get mad and leave.
So Democrats would have allowed Hitler to enter if the UN existed in 1944?
