FILE -- In this May 8, 2015 file photo, Sen. Jim Dabakis, a Salt Lake City Democrat, speaks during an Administrative Rules Review Committee meeting, in Salt Lake City. Iran’s Foreign Ministry says Dabakis, a Utah state senator, who traveled to Iran in May did not clarify his job as senator in his visa application. Ministry spokesman Bahram Ghasemi told reporters Monday that a visit by Sen. Jim Dabakis was technically legal, but that he did not make his government position clear in his application and never met with any Iranian officials. Dabakis is openly gay and reports on his visit set off a firestorm in Iran, where hard-liners accused him of being part of Western project to “infiltrate" the country. (AP Photo/Rick Bowmer, File )
