Iran slams Trump for imposing new travel ban after missile test

Iran’s foreign minister criticized U.S. President Donald Trump for his administration’s new travel ban on Iran after it successfully launched a ballistic missile, state IRIB TV reported on Monday.

Mohammed Javad Zarif wrote on Twitter early Monday: “Trump’s fake empathy for Iranians rings ever more hollow, with his new and even more offensive travel ban against such outstanding citizens.”

Iran had “successfully” launched a strategic ballistic missile with a range of 2,000 km last Friday.

Zarif, who is in New York for the United Nations General Assembly, has taken to Twitter to criticize Trump.

Iran previously was among the six majority Muslim nations targeted in the travel ban.

The new travel ban applies indefinite restrictions to citizens of some countries including Iran, which will take effect on Oct. 18.
