The Austrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that it had requested a travel exemption from the United Nations travel ban for Mohammad Eslami, the head of the Atomic Energy Organization of the Islamic Republic, but the request was denied.

According to the ministry, the President of the UN Security Council informed Vienna that the request was rejected due to a lack of consensus.

The Austrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs added that, considering the country's international commitments, Eslami's entry is not possible.

Eslami was on his way to Vienna to attend the annual general conference of the International Atomic Energy Agency, but he was not allowed to participate. He had attended all the agency's general conferences since 2021.

The travel ban stems from the "snapback" mechanism that reinstated UN sanctions against the Islamic Republic.
