U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio orders Iran’s foreign minister and his delegation to leave New York earlier than planned, according to multiple reports citing U.S. officials. The order applies to the Iranian delegation visiting for events connected to the United Nations General Assembly.
The delegation includes Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who has been described as Rubio’s counterpart in the coverage. One outlet links the decision to negotiations between the United States and Iran that take place indirectly during his stay in New York, saying the talks stall. Other reporting focuses more directly on the U.S. decision and the timing, without adding further details about the negotiations.
While the sources agree on the core action—an early departure order from Rubio and the presence of Araghchi and the delegation—there are differences in emphasis. Some accounts foreground the instruction and the alleged official rationale, while others center on the role of stalled talks during the visit.
