Rubio orders Iranian delegation out

Abbas Araghchi and his team were ordered out of New York immediately by US Secretary Rubio after the UN General Assembly talks stalled Monday evening. The delegation boarded a flight to Doha at 1:20 a.m., though a second source indicated Araghchi may have been returning home that night regardless. A US official stated the Iranian delegation had overstayed their welcome once the assembly concluded, with direct quotes confirming Secretary Rubio kicked out the delegation for having overstayed since the UN General Assembly was over. Qatar is carrying a counteroffer from Iran while this action serves as a power move intended to pressure Tehran before US patience expires.
