US Secretary of State Marco Rubio ordered Iran's delegation to the UN General Assembly, including Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, to leave the country after diplomatic negotiations stalled, a US official confirmed to Anadolu on Wednesday.
The US mission to the UN informed Iran's UN mission Monday evening on Rubio's orders that Araghchi's delegation had to leave New York "immediately," according to the Axios news site, which first reported the story.
It reported, citing a US official, that the delegation "had overstayed their welcome," adding: "The UN General Assembly was over, so it was time for them to go."
The delegation boarded a flight from New York to Doha at 1.20 am local time (0520GMT) Tuesday, the US official said, according to Axios.
