Following the President Donald Trump's executive order banning visas for seven Muslim countries, the foreign airlines have instructed Iranians travel agencies not to sell US-bound flight tickets to Iranians holding US visas.

The move comes even though a US judge on Friday temporarily blocked the ban, siding with two states that urged a nationwide hold on the executive order that has launched legal battles across the country.

The agency said there was no problem for those who have a permanent resident card or a US passport.
