Does travel to Iran void a existing US visa?
I'm an Indian citizen that currently resides in Canada. I don't qualify for ESTA so I have an existing US B1/B2 visa instead that is valid for 10 years.
I was looking to plan a trip to Iran since they opened it up to Indian citizens with visa on arrival. My question is, would a visit to Iran invalidate that US visa? I know that in the case of ESTA it gets cancelled and VWP citizens need to apply for the B1/B2 visa but in my case I already have that in my passport.
I'm a Canadian permanent resident if that changes anything.
Thanks!

Can I travel to the US if I have been to Iran?
If you hold a visa for the USA then there is no issue in travelling there after visiting Iran. The current rules (in so much as they effect tourists) do however mean that you cannot enter the USA via the ESTA system if you have travelled to Iran (or a number of other countries in the past five years).What makes a US visa invalid?
A common reason for visa revocation is that the holder stayed in the United States longer than was allowed. Visitors to the United States are often confused by this issue, thinking they're allowed to stay in the U.S. until the expiration date on the visa itself.Can you enter other countries with US visa?
Travel 45 countries and territories VISA-FREE with US visa. I always encourage travelers from developing countries to get a US visa at some point. It opens up doors to many other countries. More and more countries are offering visa exemption with a valid US visa.Can I go to America if I have been to Iraq?
