Deux membres de la délégation iranienne à l'ONU "chassés" des Etats-Unis
The United States has "chased out" two members of the Iranian delegation who attended the recent UN General Assembly after they ignored an order to leave the country, the State Department announced Saturday.
"Two other members of the Iranian delegation were found still present in New York well after the closing of the United Nations General Assembly. They have now been expelled from the United States," a US official told AFP, adding that Secretary of State Marco Rubio "is not joking."
US media reported that the State Department asked Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and his delegation to leave the country last Monday. However, it learned from the Iranian mission to the UN that two members of the delegation were still in Iran and proceeded to expel them.
According to the media outlet Axios, one member of the delegation left on Friday evening, while the second left the country on Saturday morning.
American and Iranian officials had met the previous week in New York, on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly.
US President Donald Trump had rejected a proposal from Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, but told US media that he expected talks to resume in the following days.
The official Iranian news agency IRNA reported that Tehran no longer had any direct talks planned with Washington.
