Iran is negotiating with the 5+1 and the European Union foreign policy chief on the issue, added he.

The measure would require visitors from the 38 “visa waiver” countries to obtain a visa to travel to the US if they have been to Syria, Iraq, Iran or Sudan in the past five years.
It would also require countries participating in the program, which include much of Western Europe, to share information with Washington about terror suspects, Presstv says.
