FILE - In this April 6, 2016, file photo, Iranian students prepare their robots during the international robotics competition, RoboCup Iran Open 2016, in Tehran, Iran. Universities in the U.S. say President Donald Trump's revised travel ban would block hundreds of graduate students who play key roles in research. Twenty-five of America's largest universities told The Associated Press they've sent acceptance letters to more than 500 students from the six banned countries for next fall, mostly from Iran, who are known for their strength in engineering and sciences.

In this Sunday, Feb. 26, 2017 photo, Farhad Azima, Iranian director and screenwriter of the animated film "Battle of the Persian Gulf II" center, gives an interview to the The Associated Press, while a man watches a trailer for the movie, at his office, in Tehran, Iran. The film, that was four years in the making, imagines a devastating response to an American attack on the country’s nuclear program. In a climactic battle at sea, an Iranian commander orders his forces to open fire on a much larger U.S. fleet, obliterating it with a barrage of rockets. A portrait of the head of Iran's elite Quds Force Gen. Qassem Soleimani hangs in the background. (AP Photo/Vahid Salemi)

By putting Iran “on notice,” the new U.S. administration is laying the groundwork for a more confrontational approach toward the Islamic Republic. While the U.S. has plenty in the toolbox should it choose to confront Iran more aggressively, Iran has the means to push back too. (AP Photo/Vahid Salemi, File)

Traditional American allies in the region have kept largely silent about President Donald Trump's executive actions to suspend issuing visas for people from several predominantly Muslim countries - Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen - for at least 30 days. Many welcome tougher action against Iran. (AP Photo/Vahid Salemi)

A U.S. luxury tour company is offering a new destination that’s sure to raise eyebrows: Iran. Those at Abercrombie & Kent say the tour is perfectly timed as Iran is opening up after the nuclear deal with world powers. However, the U.S. State Department has issued strong warnings about Americans traveling to the Islamic Republic as hard-liners have been arresting people with connections to the West.(AP Photo/Vahid Salemi, File)
