In his revised order, Mr. Trump calls Iran a “country that harbors terrorism” and supports different terrorist groups including the Lebanese Hezbollah and Shiite terrorist groups in Iraq.
Mr. Trump also accused Iran regime of supporting Al-Qaeda by allowing the Iranian soil to be used for group’s operatives to move to Syria and other South Asian nations.
President Trump also criticized the Iranian regime in his new executive order for not cooperating with the US in the “fight against terrorism.”

Reuters also reported on Mar. 6, 2017 that President Donald Trump’s new order, which takes effect on March 16, keeps a 90-day ban on travel to the United States by citizens of Iran, Libya, Syria, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen leaving off Iraq from the list. It applies only to new visa applicants, meaning some 60,000 people whose visas were revoked under the previous order will now be permitted to enter.
Trump, who first proposed a temporary travel ban on Muslims during his presidential campaign last year, had said his original Jan. 27 executive order was a national security measure meant to head off attacks by Islamist militants.
“As threats to our security continue to evolve and change, common sense dictates that we continually re-evaluate and reassess the systems we rely upon to protect our country,” Secretary of State Rex Tillerson told reporters after Trump signed the new order.
Some Republicans who had been critical of Trump’s original order were more positive on the new one.
Bob Corker, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said he was “very encouraged” by the approach and pleased that Iraq was removed from the list.
Trump’s original ban resulted in more than two dozen lawsuits in U.S. courts. The Justice Department estimated 60,000 people had their visas revoked by the first order but senior administration officials said on Monday those visas were now valid again for entry into the United States.
