Two members of Iran’s delegation to the United Nations General Assembly in New York were expelled from the United States on Saturday. The individuals were removed after failing to comply with a prior directive to depart the country, according to a U.S. official.
The action follows a stated policy shift under Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The official indicated that the expulsion serves as an enforcement measure, noting that the diplomats were discovered remaining in New York several days after the deadline for their departure had passed.
