US to allow Iran delegation to attend UN meetings in New York as war passes half-year mark

Since it began in February, it has driven up global energy prices, and expanded into neighbouring countries."Consistent with our host country obligations, the core delegation from the Iranian regime will be able to attend UN General Assembly High Level Week," a spokesman for the US State Department told the BBC. "The delegation will be under travel restrictions and will face prohibitions on the purchase of luxury and other goods per our policy.
