Top Republican demands Biden admin block Iranian foreign minister's visit to UN: 'an insult' to victims
Fox News
The United Nations and U.S. State Department both declined to confirm the foreign minister's visit, but each stressed the need to adhere to access for representatives of all member states.
"I strongly believe that denying Iranian Foreign Minister Amirabdollahian’s entry to the United States is necessary and consistent with the precedent set by President Obama and President Trump," Lankford stressed. Peter Aitken is a Fox News Digital reporter with a focus on national and global news.
"Not only does Amirabdollahian have irrefutable ties to Hamas terrorists who are currently holding 133 hostages, including five Americans, but Iran’s irresponsible strikes and continued threats have jeopardized Israel’s security," he wrote. "I urge the administration to take swift action and deny Amirabdollahian’s entry to the United States."
