Washington Expels Two Members of Iranian UN Delegation

jordan pulse : The US Department of State announced Saturday that the United States has 'expelled' two members of the Iranian delegation that recently participated in the United Nations General Assembly meetings after they ignored an order to leave the country.
A US official stated that 'two additional members of the Iranian delegation were found to still be present in New York long after the conclusion of the UN General Assembly. They have now been expelled from the United States,' noting that Secretary of State Marco Rubio 'means what he says.'
US media reported that the State Department had previously requested Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and his delegation to leave the country on Monday, resorting to expelling the two mentioned members after learning from Iran's mission to the UN that they remained in the country on Friday.
According to Axios, one delegation member departed Friday night, while the second left Saturday morning.
US and Iranian officials met in New York last week on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly meetings.
US President Donald Trump rejected a proposal from Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days, though he told US media outlets that he expects talks to resume in the coming days.
In contrast, Iran's official news agency (IRNA) reported that no further direct talks are currently scheduled between Tehran and Washington.
