also saudi citizens are considered wealthy, so why wont Irant want the tourism dollars Saudis can spend in Iran?Thats what i love about Iran and Turkey- they will take pracical business profit over useless politics.

May be, but in fact hardly anyone of us go to Iran unless he/she is Shia or a big fan of carpets. Our Shias go there mainly to visit one single shrine in the city of Mashhad (and they hardly visit for any other purpose). During Shah time however, and despite the racial hatred between Arabs and Persians, visits by Saudis to Iran was not uncommon. I think in the mid-70s Iran was considered like a honey moon distnation for many of us. Things have completly changed after 1979 revoloution though.

Trump' office was heard saying a ban on Pakistan may soon come into play. May be they believed to put an indirect ban. Or warning ban.

I think that they may not issue a blanket ban but for sure that very few people from Pakistan will get entry in US.

Kuwait imposes visa ban on five Muslim-majority nations including Pak

Moscow [Russia] Following the Muslim ban in the U.S., Kuwait has now suspended the issuance of visas for travellers native to Syria, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran.

Tourism, trade, and visitor visas from the above mentioned nations have been restricted following an order from the Kuwaiti Government to slap a “blanket ban” on possible migrants, according to Sputnik News.

The Kuwaiti Government has asked would-be migrants from the five banned nations not to apply for visas, as Kuwait City is worried about the possible migration of radical Islamic terrorists.



A group of militants bombed a Shia mosque in 2015, killing 27 Kuwaiti nationals. A 2016 survey conducted by Expat Insider ranked Kuwait one of the worst nations in the world for expatriates, primarily due to its strict cultural laws.

Kuwait was the only nation to prohibit the entry of Syrian nationals prior to Trump’s executive action. Kuwait City previously issued a suspension of visas for all Syrians in 2011. (ANI)
