The Aporia · Iranian UN delegation duo ‘kicked out’ of US: US State Department

The United States State Department expelled two members of Iran's UN delegation for staying in New York past their designated departure date, following an order issued by Secretary of State Marco Rubio on September 28. One Iranian delegate left the country on October 2 at night and another departed early on October 3. This action comes after US officials met with Iranian counterparts during the recent UN General Assembly meetings but subsequently rejected Iran's proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, despite Trump expressing openness to future negotiations.

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.
