Iran plans to participate in the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly if the US fulfills its obligations and issues visas to the Iranian delegation in a timely manner, Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said.

“It is planned that we [i.e. Iran] will participate in this meeting—of course, on the condition that the host country [i.e. the US] fulfills its obligations and issues visas [to the Iranian delegation] in a timely manner in accordance with the agreement,” Baghaei said during a press conference.

According to him, Tehran intends to use this platform to explain Iran’s position on current issues.
