The United States leveled visa restrictions against 14 Iranian nationals who were allegedly involved in the 1990 assassination of a prominent Iranian dissident in Switzerland.

The announcement came on Friday, which coincides with the United Nations’s Day of Remembrance and Tribute to the Victims of Terrorism.
