Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has strongly criticized the changes in the US's plan to be stricter on granting visas to those who have visited Iran in recent years.

Araghchi says, "This law certainly affects economic, tourist, scientific and cultural exchanges with Iran and it contravenes the nuclear deal."

He added that "If this law is applied, we will put forward a request to the Joint Commission, because the law goes against the nuclear accord."
