U.S.–Iran talks reach an impasse, Rubio issues an “order to leave” to the Iranian delegation

BlockBeats news,October 1, according to AXIOS reports, a U.S. official and another person familiar with the matter said that after U.S.–Iran talks stalled, Rubio on Monday demanded that Iran’s delegation to the United Nations leave the United States immediately. Although the Iranian delegation may already have been preparing to leave the United States soon, Rubio’s move amounted to a rare diplomatic rebuke and underscored the deep-rooted distrust between the U.S. and Iran as mediation efforts to end the war continued to yield no results.

Qatar’s mediators had previously sought to advance U.S.–Iran diplomacy, but made little progress, with neither side willing to compromise. The Iranian officials asked to leave New York included Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi. A U.S. official said: “Rubio demanded at the time that the Iranian delegation leave, saying that they had overstayed. The United Nations General Assembly had ended, and they should leave.” The Iranian delegation, including Araghchi, headed to the airport several hours later and, in the early hours of Tuesday local time, 1 20 minutes, boarded a flight from New York to Doha.
