US Orders Iranian UN Delegation Out of New York Following Stalled Talks
REL_TIME: 04 Oct 2026 02:13Z · LANG: EN
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio ordered Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and his delegation to leave New York immediately after indirect diplomatic talks stalled. The Iranian team, which attended the UN General Assembly and engaged in Qatari-mediated negotiations regarding the Strait of Hormuz and nuclear issues, departed early Tuesday for Doha. While US officials characterized the move as a directive issued because the delegation overstayed its welcome, Iran's UN mission denied being expelled, claiming its departure was pre-planned and communicated weeks in advance.
// Background
The UN General Assembly hosted the first discussions between US and Iranian officials since mid-June, featuring US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner alongside Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. Negotiations centered on a seven-day trust-building framework proposed by Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and address broader issues, including Iran's nuclear program. Alongside diplomacy, Washington maintained pressure by issuing sanctions against 13 individuals and entities across multiple countries accused of aiding Iranian weapons procurement.
