Iran's foreign minister assails Trump travel ban
Iran's foreign minister has criticized US President Donald Trump for his administration's new travel ban.
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."
Zarif, who is in New York for the United Nations General Assembly, has taken to Twitter before 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 Chad, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Yemen and North Korea. The changes will take effect October 18.
