Obama Signs Ted Cruz's Iran Bill - Business Insider

Obama Signs Ted Cruz's Iran Bill - Business Insider: "President Barack Obama on Friday signed into law a bill that was sponsored by Republican Sen. Ted Cruz and will effectively bar Iran's proposed United Nations ambassador from entering the United States. Though he signed the bill, Obama said he will use discretion in enforcing the law.

[...] The law prevents terrorists or others the President deems to be a national security threat to the United States from entering the country as ambassadors to the United Nations. Cruz formed the bill in response to Iran's selection of Hamid Aboutalebi as its ambassador to the U.N. Aboutalebi was allegedly involved in the 1979 Iran hostage crisis."
