New Zealand, in imposing travel restrictions on 40 Iranian officials in connection with the recent unrest, stated that these bans target, among others, “Eskandar Momeni,” the Interior Minister, “Esmaeil Khatib,” the Intelligence Minister, and “Mohammad Mohemdi Azad,” the Attorney General of Iran.

According to Rokna, members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) have also been included in these restrictions.

The travel bans further apply to three other Iranian individuals alleged to have been involved in “Iran’s malign activities abroad.”

Those subject to the travel bans will not be permitted to enter or transit through New Zealand.
