US State Department spokesperson: Ordinary Iranians are suffering from brutal suppression, water and electricity shortages, and hyperinflation, while Iranian regime officials want to do a lot of shopping in New York. This must never happen. We will not allow the Iranian regime's elites to take advantage of the UN General Assembly to squander money on the suffering of the Iranian people to buy luxury goods, while at the same time, the regime is also misappropriating Iran's wealth to support its terrorist agents. The US will continue to ban Iranian UN delegation officials, visiting officials, and their families from applying for membership in local warehouses or purchasing luxury goods. Retail businesses in the New York area must remain vigilant and not become complicit in these irregularities.
