The United States has expelled Iran's United Nations delegation following stalled peace talks aimed at ending a seven-month war. Secretary of State Marco Rubio ordered the delegation to leave after they had remained in New York beyond the end of the UN General Assembly. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and his team had been present in New York despite President Masoud Pezeshkian's departure after his speech at the assembly.
Qatar was mediating between Washington and Tehran. Iran claimed it had received Washington's response to a proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and resume nuclear talks. The US Secretary of State stated the delegation had overstayed their welcome once the General Assembly concluded. Iran stated the delegation left according to a pre-arranged schedule communicated to the US State Department.
