Rubio Demands Iranian UN Delegation Leave US After Talks Stall

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 delegation taking part in the UN gathering. No details were provided about the negotiations or the issues that prevented progress.

The move was described as a “diplomatic rebuke,” escalating the confrontation beyond the stalled talks to the delegation’s continued presence in the United States.

It was not immediately clear whether the delegation had departed or how Iranian officials had responded. Further details were not available in the initial account.
