America has a new rule for Iran. Important Iranian officials cannot visit the US. Their families also cannot come. The State Department said this on Thursday. This means America's plan for Iran is now harder.
The rule is because of human rights worries. It is also because leaders are not good to the people. We do not know when the rule starts. But the US wants to stop leaders from coming.
This rule is for the protests in Iran. It shows America is strong. It separates the people from the leaders. The people suffer. The leaders have good lives. This puts pressure on leaders. It does not hurt normal people.
The State Department said, "People in Iran want rights. We are acting." Mike Waltz said leaders' families can't live in the US easily. Secretary of State Marco Rubio started this rule. It is part of US rules for people coming in.
This is a big step for the US and Iran. It adds pressure on Iran. It makes things harder for talking. Groups like United Against Nuclear Iran like this. They want leaders to be good. The US shows it helps the people of Iran. We will see who the rule stops.
