Rubio Urged Iranian UN Delegation to Leave US After Talks Stalled

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio demanded last Monday that the Iranian delegation attending United Nations General Assembly meetings leave the United States immediately after negotiations stalled.

The demand was directed at the Iranian representatives taking part in the UN meetings. The brief account did not specify the subject of the negotiations or the issues that had prevented progress.

The move was characterized as a “diplomatic rebuke.” No details were provided about how Rubio communicated the demand to the delegation.

It was not immediately clear whether the Iranian representatives had left the United States or how they had responded. Further details were pending.
