The State Department ordered two members of Iran’s UN General Assembly delegation to leave New York on Friday and Saturday after being asked to depart days earlier when negotiations stalled. Secretary of State Marco Rubio directed the entire Iranian delegation to leave immediately following the September 18-28 event, but these two diplomats remained in the U.S. until later enforcement. The article reports this action taken by the U.S. as a response to ongoing tensions and failed negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program and regional influence.

Story summary
Two Iranian diplomats were expelled from New York City by the U.S. State Department on October 2 and 3 after ignoring orders to leave following the end of the UN General Assembly, which concluded September 28. The order for the entire Iranian delegation, led by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, had been issued days earlier but two members remained in New York long past their departure deadline. U.S. officials cited stalled negotiations and President Trump's willingness to escalate military tensions with Iran as reasons for the expulsion. Meanwhile, Araghchi disputed claims that any diplomats ignored orders, stating all left on schedule except one who departed early. The incident highlights ongoing tensions between the U.S. and Iran over Strait of Hormuz shipping security and broader diplomatic relations.
