During his campaign for presidency, Donald Trump said his predecessor Barack Obama had been too soft on Iran. He was critical of the nuclear deal made between Iran and the worlds six major powers, including the US.

Since his election tensions have grown. Trump has attempted to bar Iranians from entering the US (as part of a wider travel ban on people from predominantly Muslim countries) and has also talked about putting Iran on notice after it tested a ballistic missile.

The travel restrictions are going to affect Asghar Farhadi, the award-winning Iranian director whose new film The Salesman has earned him a nomination for a second Oscar. The supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has urged Iranians to join a rally on Friday the anniversary of the 1979 Islamic revolution to show their position toward threats.
