Marco Rubio, the US Secretary of State, ordered Iran’s foreign minister and his delegation to leave New York City ahead of schedule during the UN General Assembly in late September 2026. According to US officials, the Iranian delegation was initially scheduled to stay until Wednesday but was asked to depart on Monday. The decision came after weekend meetings between Iranian and Qatari mediators made little progress towards easing tensions. Rubio reportedly felt that the Iranians had “overstayed their welcome.” In response, Iran’s UN delegation denied being ordered out, stating they left according to a schedule communicated to the US State Department in advance on September 17.
