Tehran to ban Americans from entering Iran in retaliatory move

[WebGuru]

Iran will ban Americans from entering the country in response to President Donald Trump's “insulting” order restricting arrivals from Iran and six other Muslim states, the foreign ministry said on Saturday.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran... has decided to respond in kind after the insulting decision of the United States concerning Iranian nationals” until the measure is lifted, the ministry said in a statement carried by state television.

Trump on Friday signed a sweeping executive order to suspend refugee arrivals and impose tough controls on travellers from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.

Iran's foreign ministry called the decision “illegal, illogical and contrary to international rules”.

It said its own ban on US nationals would continue until the American measure was lifted.

The ministry said said it had ordered Iranian diplomatic missions to help Iranians who had been “prevented from returning to their homes and places of work and study” in the United States.

Travel agents in Tehran said that foreign airlines had begun barring Iranians from US-bound flights.

I don't think many americans travel regularly to Iran

There you go. See how stupid these policies are - Trump has to understand we live in an interconnected world.

Actions have reactions. You want to slap a tariff on Mexican imports ? Then Mexico will slap tariff on US goods. Ban Iranian citizens from entering the US ? Iran will respond in kind.

I'll bet many of the one million plus Iranian Americans do so on a regular basis.

If i am not wrong Trump said something about only allowing minorities from these banned countries in near future? if this is rumor is true i don't know how stupid someone can be i mean he think this move will make life easy for remaining minorities in muslim countries? or he is willing to move all the minorities (millions) from those countries to US and protect them all?

But do you think Iran will also ban Americans with Iranian descent? I don't think so

Trump says priority will be given to Christians refugees - but what's stopping people from lying about their faith to gain entry ?

We now know this'll apply to dual nationals so if you're an UK/Iraqi citizen you're also banned ! Business won't be pleased with this as this'll cause disruption to their labour force. Google have already issued a statement of concern.

Iraqi Parliament now discussing retaliatory measures.

Someone is going to court against this move of Trump i think court will suspend this order soon.

US tariff on Mexico goods = Mexican goods more expensive for U.S. Consumers. So who pay? U.S. Consumers!

US car manufacturers assemble cars in Mexico and ship them to the USA for US customers. Guess where most of the components are made before being shipped to the USA? Yes, the USA! So ultimately who suffers? US car component manufacturers, their employees and U.S. consumers!

Surely, as a businessman, Trump can see this? But wait.... Trump himself likes to employ cheap labour in his businesses (he's been known to avoid paying the wages of foreign construction workers building his hotels and golf resorts ), as well as having his products made as cheap as possible outside the USA.

Get rid of all the Americans in Iraq? Oil company executives, Special Forces fighting Isis, US Servicemen helping Iraqi forces fighting Isis ...??

 

[Yossarian]

But do you think Iran will also ban Americans with Iranian descent? I don't think so

Does Iran (or the U.S.) allow dual Iranian/U.S. Citizenship? If not then as far as Iran is concerned they are Americans and not Iranians. Their ethnic origins is irrelevant.

After Sanction lifted, US companies want their share in Business.

Overall, there is no big impact at state level as these countries have no diplomatic ties.

Wasn't Trump the one begging a Chinese company Ali Baba to create 1 million jobs for poor Americans?

Apparently retaliatory measures would affect US contractors and journalists.

This is how crazy this ban is - the Iraqi-born British Conservative MP Nadhim Zahawi would be barred from entering the US ! Maybe he'd be exempt being a Member of Parliament.

Given this ban affects dual nationals and therefore UK citizens, Theresa May surely must condemn these draconian measures and defend UK citizens. To not do so would be an act of cowardice.

Trump's going to find some excuse to break the Iran nuclear deal (such as some CIA paid IAEA inspector claiming that he was not allowed to use the facility Directors toilet during his inspection of an Iranian nuclear site, ie Iran was not fully cooperating with the terms of the treaty regarding free access to IAEA inspectors), cancel the deal and reimpose sanctions. Followed by an excuse to attack Iran (or letting Israel attack whilst providing Israel with support).

There are several other parties involved, usa alone cannot do much.

Plus, Iran is Putin's main ally in the region and Putin would not allow it as Trump would not be president in 4 years but Putin would still be protecting russia'S interests in the region.

Furthermore, iran has crossed that threshold of neuclear expertise and even if they are attacked, it would give a new life to their religious dictatorship.

USA is not in position to attack anyone. Europe has learnt a harsh lesson of joining states in anti Assad operation.

 

[Black Zero]

Tehran clarified that they are still thinking ...
So no ban implemented yet.

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

okay here is a totally left-field stupid idea.

Iran should remove all kind of visa restrictions for citizens of united states of america and tell them to come visit Iran and enjoy the hospitality of the people.

What's the worst that can happen?

We're talking about Trump - a man who conducts international superpower diplomacy via twitter.

Do you think logic means anything to him?

Are you aware that this week, when announcing the various international bodies he's intending pulling the USA out of and/or stopping their funding, he stated that he's pulling the USA out of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and stopping all US contributions to it.
Trump (and none of his advisers who helped prepare the announcement) weren't even aware of the fact that the USA is not a member of the I.C.C. and does not make any contributions to it.

For that matter, what's stopping genuine Christian refugees lying once they are in the land of opportunity? If you study the history of immigration to the US over the last century then you might detect that Capitalism has no religion.

Trump stops them from going back to the USA? Even if they're US citizens. He'll find some way of stripping their U.S. citizenship.

Cannot do much out of his domain.
Mexican leader cancelled the planned meeting. Why trump is not talking about Taiwan anymore.

USA is the sole superpower but still got so many limitations.

A week or so ago, a US warship in the Gulf fired warning shots at Iranian gunboats because, in the opinion of the US Captain, they came too close (they were around 1km away). With Trump in charge, next time it may not be less than the 1km away, but still much further away, and not simply be warning shots but actually blowing any Iranian ships out of the water.

Remember the USS Vincennes that blew up Iran Air Flight 655, a civilian airliner, out of the sky? It was later proved that not only was the airliner climbing after take-off when shot (and not diving to attack as claimed by the Captain), but that the USS Vincennes was in Iranian waters at the time. The Captain of the USS Vincennes was given a promotion for his actions.

It's more than a 50/50 chance that Trump will find an excuse to attack Iran during his Presidency. His son-in-law and those around the President will make sure of that just in case Trump wavers.

With little Syrians kids being stopped at border gates, geopolitics and left field conspiracy theories might have to wait for the time being

And the future kids will be told, and this was the moment where we started the impeach trump movement leading him to become the shortest serving president of United States of America.

hallelujah plays in the background.

This ban could rollercoaster in to all countries banning each other. Soon Muslim countries may be banning all American's as well. Mind you, Arab countries can't really do this.

I'm not so sure, Netanyahoo.com has been ranting about Iranian nukes since the 90's but has found no support from any American administration to even think of attacking Iran outright. Russia drew line the sand when it came to Syria, one reason being they knew if Syria fell, their closest ally in the region (Iran) would be next. Also Iran would unleash series firepower on Israel, the risk is too much for the Zionist atm.
