This Feb. 6, 2014 photo, provided by the office of the Iranian President, shows Hamid Aboutalebi, an Iranian diplomat, who was recently named as Iran's ambassador to the United Nations, speaking in his office in Tehran, Iran. President Barack Obama has signed legislation aimed at blocking Iran&#8217;s chosen ambassador to the United Nations but says he&#8217;s only treating it as guidance. The unusual legislation bars anyone from entering the U.S. as a U.N. representative if they&#8217;ve engaged in espionage or terrorist activity and still pose a threat to U.S. security. It&#8217;s aimed at blocking Hamid Aboutalebi, linked to the 1979 takeover of the U.S. embassy in Tehran. (AP Photo/Iranian Presidency Office, Mohammad Berno)
