TEHRAN, Feb. 3 (Xinhua) -- The Iranian ambassador to Kuwait denied recent media reports that the Persian Gulf state has imposed a visa ban on Iranians, Tasnim news agency reported on Friday.
Alireza Enayati said the report is "untrue" saying that the Kuwaiti government has suspended the issuance of visas for some nationals, including Iran, following U.S. President Donald Trump's executive order.
"Such a measure has not been taken" by the Kuwaiti government, Emirati told Tasnim.
Sputnik International has reported that Kuwait suspended the issuance of visas for nationals of Syria, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran.
Recent executive order issued by president Trump restricts immigration from seven Muslim-majority countries, including Iran.
