"Iran will implement the principle of reciprocity until the offensive U.S. limitations against Iranian nationals are lifted"

Timatic already states that US citizens WILL be refused entry, so no airline is supposed to board anyone presenting a US passport, even if they hold an Iranian visa

Interestingly, though, I read this tweet by Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif
Unlike the U.S., our decision is not retroactive. All with valid Iranian visa will be gladly welcomed.
