Iran's FM Spox. Esmail Baghaei:

When an administration slams its doors shut - even on American journalists it happens to dislike - and bars foreign reporters, including the Iranian president’s media team, whose voices it would rather silence, it is not managing access; it is trying to hide the truth and further its misinformation campaign by trampling on the right of access to information.

A nation that once took pride in tearing down the Iron Curtain now finds itself standing behind one of its own.
