Iran said Saturday that it would stop US citizens from entering the country in retaliation to Washingtons visa ban against Iran and six other majority-Muslim countries.

While respecting the American people and distinguishing between them and the hostile policies of the US government, Iran will implement the principle of reciprocity until the offensive US limitations against Iranian nationals are lifted, a Foreign Ministry statement said.

The restrictions against travel by Muslims to America . . . are an open affront against the Muslim world and the Iranian nation in particular and will be known as a great gift to extremists, said the statement.

The US ban will make it virtually impossible for relatives and friends of an estimated 1 million Iranian-Americans to visit the United States.

Earlier Saturday, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani criticized steps toward canceling world-trade agreements and said it was no time to build walls between nations.
