Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has rejected reports that two Iranian diplomats were “kicked out” of the United States after the UN General Assembly, saying Tehran’s delegation members left as scheduled. In a post on X, Araghchi called the reported expulsion “fake” and accused those celebrating it of showing “desperation and defeat.” He was responding to an Axios report that two Iranian delegates remained in New York despite a US State Department order to leave after the UNGA. According to Axios, US authorities reiterated the demand after discovering the diplomats still in the city. One left Friday night and the other Saturday morning. The conflicting accounts come amid renewed uncertainty over diplomatic efforts between Washington and Tehran.
