The Trump administration has imposed new restrictions on Iranian diplomats in the U.S., barring them from shopping at wholesale clubs like Costco and purchasing luxury goods without State Department approval. The restrictions, published in the Federal Register, aim to prevent Iranian officials from exploiting diplomatic travel to acquire goods unavailable to the Iranian public. This action is part of the administration's broader crackdown on visas for Iranian and other foreign officials, highlighting the ongoing tensions between the U.S. and Iran.
