The accusation highlights growing diplomatic tensions between Tehran and Washington, with Iran insisting that such actions undermine international norms. The dispute centers on whether external powers can dictate visa policies within another country’s jurisdiction. The situation raises broader questions about how foreign influence may affect consular relations in Europe.
