Iran has taken some similar steps to increase its revenues from tourism under US sanctions.

Less than a week ago, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani issued an order to the Interior minister, according to which Iran will not put stamps on the passports of the visiting foreigners.

Cabinet Spokesman Ali Rabiei said earlier that “under its economic terrorism plans, the US is trying to frighten and stop foreign tourists from making trips to Iran.”

“Unfortunately, the US is following its economic terrorism programs against Iran and seeks to frighten everybody who wishes to travel to Iran from future problems or being sanctioned,” he said, “Today, President Rouhani issued an order according to which Iran will not put stamp on the passports of the visiting foreign tourists.”
