US Expels Two Iranian Diplomats After Alleged Overstay; Iran Denies Claims
Two Iranian diplomats who were part of Iran's delegation to the United Nations General Assembly in New York were expelled from the United States after allegedly ignoring a State Department order to leave. The US instructed Iran's mission to ensure the delegation's departure after the assembly ended, but two members remained in New York, prompting a renewed demand for their immediate exit. One diplomat left Friday night and the other Saturday morning. Iran's foreign minister denied the expulsions, stating all diplomats left as scheduled and criticized the US claims as unfounded.
