Iran Responds to Reports of Mission’s ‘Expulsion’ From New York

Iran has commented on press reports claiming that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio had “expelled” its mission from New York.

The reports linked the alleged move to Rubio’s participation in the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly. The available summary did not provide details of Iran’s response.

No information was supplied on the scope of the reported action, including whether it concerned individual diplomats or the mission as a whole.

The claim of an expulsion remains unconfirmed in the information provided. It also remains unclear what measure, if any, US authorities took against the Iranian mission.
