Iran Foreign Ministry on Saturday, January 28, 2017, announced
that U.S. citizens will be blocked from entering the country in retaliation to
Donald Trump’s ban on travellers from seven majority-Muslim countries coming to
the US.
'While respecting the American people and distinguishing between
them and the hostile policies of the U.S. government, Iran will implement the
principle of reciprocity until the offensive U.S. limitations against Iranian
nationals are lifted.
'The restrictions against travel by Muslims to America are an open affront against the Muslim world and the Iranian nation in particular and will be known as a great gift to extremists.'

It comes after President Donald Trump on Friday signed an
executive order to suspend visas for citizens of Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya,
Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.
However, a Federal Judge in New York granted an emergency stay on Saturday night for citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries who have already arrived in the US and those who are in transit, and who hold valid visas, ruling they cannot be removed from the US.
