The United States has expelled two members of Iran’s delegation to the United Nations after they remained in New York despite repeated State Department demands that the entire Iranian delegation leave the country. The expulsions come as diplomatic efforts to end the war falter, tensions between Washington and Tehran escalate, and the possibility of renewed U.S. military action increases.
BREAKING:
Two members of Iran’s UN delegation were kicked out of the United States on Saturday.
The diplomats had been ordered to leave several days earlier.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio ordered Iran’s UN mission to ensure its delegation left the country.
The State Department first demanded on Monday that the entire Iranian delegation leave immediately.
The two diplomats remained in New York despite the U.S. demand.
On Friday, the Iranian mission was informed that the United States knew the two diplomats were still in New York.
The United States again ordered both diplomats to leave immediately.
One Iranian diplomat departed Friday night.
The second diplomat departed Saturday morning.
A U.S. official said, “Secretary Rubio means business.”
The expulsions represent another major escalation in tensions between the United States and Iran.
The diplomatic confrontation comes as efforts to end the war appear to be breaking down.
The departures underscore Washington’s willingness to enforce its demands against Iranian diplomatic personnel.
The dispute could further complicate already strained U.S.-Iran diplomatic relations.
The latest action comes as the prospect of renewed combat between the United States and Iran rises.
