However, they remained in New York for several days, the official said. They have now been kicked out of the country,” the US official said. However, the Iranian mission earlier said the delegation’s departure was scheduled in advance and that the plan had been communicated to the US State Department. “Araghchi had already been scheduled to leave New York on Monday night,” reported AP. While US officials said that Rubio ordered Araghchi and his delegation to leave the city earlier than planned.
“Secretary Rubio means business. Two more members of the Iranian delegation were found still in New York long after the UN General Assembly had passed. The diplomats, who were part of Iran’s delegation to the UN General Assembly in New York, were asked on Monday to leave the US along with the rest of the delegation. One of the diplomats left the US on Friday night, while the second departed on Saturday morning, according to the official.
