  "summary": "An Iranian delegation will be allowed to attend the United Nations General Assembly in New York next week. According to the US State Department, the delegation will be smaller than last year and will face travel restrictions and prohibitions on the purchase of luxury goods.\n\nThe Iranian delegation, which includes Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, has been granted visas. US outlets reported that Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi will also attend.\n\nThe US has different policies for other attendees, having denied Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas a visa, while allowing him to address the gathering via video. The US and Iran have a strained relationship, with the US designating Tehran as a state sponsor of terrorism.",
