Secretary of State Marco Rubio ordered Iran’s delegation to the United Nations General Assembly to leave the United States on Monday after negotiations stalled, according to a U.S. official and another source familiar with the matter cited by Axios.
Axios reported that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi was among those told to depart New York. Qatari mediators had sought a diplomatic breakthrough between the United States and Iran, but Axios said the talks made little progress because neither side was willing to change its position. Separately, Al Jazeera reported that President Donald Trump said the United States could strike Iran or reach an agreement, and that the standoff would end soon.
