Iran foreign ministry denounces 'racist mentality' of US travel ban

Tehran denounced the "racist mentality" of US policymakers on Saturday, following Washington's decision to bar citizens from 12 countries, including Iran.

Director General for the affairs of Iranians broad, Alireza Hashemi-Raja, said the move was "a clear sign of the dominance of a supremacist and racist mentality among American policymakers", adding that it "indicates the deep hostility of American decision-makers towards the Iranian and Muslim people".
