U.S. Considers Barring Iranian Diplomats from NYC Wholesale Stores

The Trump administration is weighing tighter restrictions on Iranian diplomats in New York City ahead of the upcoming U.N. General Assembly.

Reports indicate that officials are considering barring Iranian delegates from shopping at members-only U.S. wholesale stores, such as Costco and Sam’s Club, which sell products largely unavailable in Iran due to international sanctions and economic isolation.

Such measures would require diplomats to obtain express permission before visiting these stores.

According to the Associated Press, these proposals are still under consideration, and the details could change, but they form part of the broader U.S. effort to limit Iranian diplomatic movements and influence within the country.
