The Iranian government spokesman wants civil society to address the issue of Iranian students whose visas have been revoked and not allowed to enter the United States to study postgraduate courses and research degrees.

Iran Press/ Iran News: Iranian government spokesman Ali Rabiei in his press conference answered the question of Iran Press reporter about Iranian students in the US.

According to Iran Press, Rabiei in his press conference urged civil society to respond appropriately to recent actions by Washington that barred 12 Iranian students from entering the United States.

Iran Press reporter asked Rabiei about the Iranian students who have been barred from US entry, and whose visas have been revoked and whether the government is pursuing legal action in this case. 

He answered in the affirmative saying: 'The Interest Section of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the United States is pursuing this case'.

Rabiei stated that the evidence also shows that these students had no political background.

He also added that their field of study was not something to cause suspicion. The Iranian Government spokesman said 'let us use this opportunity and ask civil society to respond appropriately to these actions'.
