US President Donald Trump’s Jan. 27 executive order to ban the entry of citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries, including Iran, continues to prompt reactions from both Iranian officials and media.
On Jan. 28, in remarks interpreted by Iranian media as a direct hit at Trump for seeking to build a wall along the US border with Mexico, President Hassan Rouhani said, “Today is not the time for raising walls between nations; they have forgotten that the Berlin wall collapsed a long time ago. … Now is the time for being neighbors.”
