First Batch of Russian Tourists Enter Iran After Visa Cancellation

Iranian media reported on Wednesday that the first batch of Russian tourists entered Iran through Imam Khomeini Airport after the visa requirement between Russia and Iran was lifted. Mohammad Hossein Soufi, the executive director of the Iranian Automobile and International Tourism Club, noted that "another priority for the ministry is to abolish visas with various countries unilaterally and bilaterally." The spokesperson mentioned that "the Russian tourists will stay in Iran for several days, during which they will visit the country's tourist, cultural, and historical sites, and they will act as ambassadors who will inform their compatriots about what they have seen in Iran."
