TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Oliver Stone, making his first-ever visit to Iran, says the United States is a global “outlaw” that has made a mess of the Middle East.

The director of “JFK” and “Platoon” spoke at a press conference Wednesday during his visit to the country, where he attended an international film festival.

 He went on to say that “national security has trumped artistic freedom,” claiming “you cannot make a film critical of the United States’ foreign policy.”
His remarks drew applause.
