This development follows escalating geopolitical tensions between Iran and the United States. Experts suggest this action represents a further escalation of strained relations, potentially reflecting broader concerns within the Iranian political establishment regarding economic engagement with the West. The restriction is attributed to a perceived undermining of diplomatic relations and a heightened emphasis on bilateral negotiations. The specific details of the restrictions are currently under review.
