The Iran's nominated ambassador to the United Nations, Hamid Abutalebi, was denied a US visa today due to his involvement in the seizure of the US embassy in Iran over 30 years ago, reports the BBC.
A spokesperson from Iran’s mission to the UN, Hamid Baaeui, describing the decision as ‘regrettable’, said that the decision violated international law.
The US decision will in effect bar the Iranian diplomat from fulfilling his role at the United Nations in New York.
