Libya’s eastern administration bars entry to Iranians, Afghans

Libya’s eastern-based government banned the entry of Iranian and Afghan nationals through all land, sea and air ports, the government said late on Wednesday.
The move extends entry restrictions the eastern administration imposed on nationals of four African countries in June, in a country split between rival governments in the east and west since 2014.
The government did not give a reason for the decision.
“The nationals of both Iran and Afghanistan are prohibited from entering Libyan territory through all land, air, and sea ports of entry,” the government said in a statement posted on its verified Facebook page.
