美国国务院近期发布新规，限制伊朗驻联合国代表团成员在美国的购物行为。根据新规，伊朗代表被禁止加入或在包括Costco在内的美国仓储式会员制超市进行购物。国务院表示，此类超市的会员资格被视为一项“福利”，美国有权决定是否提供。此外，新规还禁止购买价值1000美元以上的奢侈品，如手表、服装、电子产品、酒类，以及超过6万美元的车辆。此前，伊朗外交官常利用其在美特殊身份，通过仓储式超市购买本国难以获得的商品，尤其是在联合国大会期间。此举旨在进一步收紧对伊朗的限制。

🚫 **禁止进入仓储式超市**：美国国务院发布新规，明确禁止伊朗驻联合国代表团成员在美国境内加入或购物于Costco、Sam's Club、BJ's Wholesale Club等仓储式会员制超市，将这些场所的购物资格视为可控的“福利”。

💎 **奢侈品及高价商品限制**：除了禁止进入仓储式超市，新规还进一步限制伊朗代表购买价值1000美元以上的奢侈品，涵盖手表、服装、电子产品、酒类等，并对购买车辆的价格上限设定在6万美元。

📈 **收紧对伊经济施压**：此举是美国政府对伊朗实施更广泛经济限制措施的一部分。此前，伊朗外交官常利用在美便利，通过仓储式超市购买本国难以获得的商品，新规旨在切断这一渠道，增加伊朗的经济压力。

📍 **背景与影响**：在联合国大会期间，外国外交官通常有机会在纽约活动。Costco在联合国总部附近设有门店，过去伊朗外交官曾被观察到在此购物。此项新规限制了他们在美国的某些消费便利，特别是对于那些本国经济受到制裁的国家。

The US State Department issued new restrictions on Iran ahead of the UN's annual meeting in New York.Representatives of Iran are barred from joining or shopping at wholesale clubs, including Costco.The US says club stores are a "benefit" that it may allow (or withhold) for diplomatic missions.

While there is much that Iran's delegation to the United Nations can do to enjoy New York City this week during the international organization's annual meeting, one place is officially off-limits: Costco.

The US State Department said Monday that wholesale clubs are a "benefit" that the US may allow or withhold for diplomatic missions on US soil.

A separate order says that Iranian representatives must get approval from the State Department before "obtaining or otherwise retaining membership at any wholesale club store in the United States, to include but not limited to Costco, Sam's Club, or BJ's Wholesale Club."

The order goes further to prohibit the purchase of luxury goods — valued at $1,000 — including watches, apparel, accessories, electronics, or alcohol, or vehicles costing more than $60,000.

Iran is the only subject identified in the order.

Wholesale clubs have been popular with Iranian diplomats, who have previously used their special access to the US to buy products they are otherwise unable to access in the economically isolated country, the Associated Press reported.

Indeed, during the week of the UN General Assembly in past years, diplomatic staff have been spotted shopping in New York between official meetings and speeches.

Costco has a warehouse store about 4 miles north of the UN headquarters.

The State Department's orders do not say whether Iranians are barred from shopping at one of Costco's or Sam's Club's international locations.
