The ban on the entry of citizens from seven Muslim countries into the United States has sparked significant reactions and protests in recent months. Citizens of Iran, Iraq, Libya, Yemen, Syria, Sudan, and Somalia are prohibited from entering the country for 90 days under an order from Donald Trump, the new President of the United States. The reason for this order, according to Trump, is to counter potential terrorist threats. However, the question arises as to why Iranians, who have not played a role in any terrorist operations in the U.S., are included in this list of banned citizens. Radio Farda also discussed the possibility of Middle Eastern Islamic countries reciprocating by banning Americans from entering their countries with two experts.
