The United States will permit an Iranian delegation to attend the United Nations General Assembly, even as the two countries remain in conflict.
A State Department spokesman said Thursday that the delegation will be smaller than last year's. Its members will also face travel restrictions and a ban on buying luxury goods.
A source familiar with the matter confirmed that Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian will be part of the approved delegation.
