TEHRAN – An Iranian MP on Wednesday refuted allegations that Iran intends to revoke the Iranian citizenship of people who hold Iranian and other nationalities.

Having non-Iranian nationalities is not considered a crime by law, said Alireza Salimi, head of parliamentary group for supporting Iranians overseas, ICANA reported.

However, he said that Iranian nationals with extra nationalities will be considered only as Iranian citizens by the Islamic Republic and treated accordingly.
