The U.S. objected Wednesday to Iran's anticipated selection of Hamid Aboutalebi a former hostage-taker at the American Embassy in Tehran as its newest ambassador to the United Nations.
Lawmakers in Congress who usually disagree on everything — ranging from liberal New York Democrat Sen. Chuck Schumer and conservative Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz — have demanded that Aboutalebi be barred from living and working in the United States.
Hamid Aboutalebi should be denied a passport to enter the United States of America.
