Separately, Iran on Saturday condemned new sanctions imposed by the United States targeting more than 30 individuals and entities Washington said are part of a 'shadow banking' network linked to Tehran that has laundered billions of dollars through the global financial system. 'The new U.S. sanctions …, are illegal and violate international law, and are further evidence of the deep and continuing hostility of the U.S. ruling regime towards the Iranian people,' foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said in a statement carried by state media. Trump reinstates US travel ban, bars citizens of 12 countries Trump's travel ban will bar citizens from 12 countries: Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, Congo Republic, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen.
