NEW YORK – Iranian diplomats in New York have been barred from shopping at wholesale club stores like Costco and purchasing luxury goods in the United States without explicit permission from the State Department.

This information comes from notices prepared for publication in the Federal Register by the Department's Office of Foreign Missions.

The restriction aligns with the high-level segment of the UN General Assembly taking place in New York this week.

The move indicates a tightening of restrictions on Iranian diplomats amid ongoing international tensions.

This change could affect the day-to-day activities of Iranian diplomats based in or visiting New York, impacting their access to certain goods.
