A news about the alleged order was published on tuesday in several american newspapers.
Meanwhile, Iran’s Permanent Mission to the UN said today, through social media, that the Iranian delegation left New York on Monday afternoon, meeting the agenda that had been “in advance” communicated to the United States State Department on 17 September.
The diplomatic mission also said that “because it has not achieved results,” the State Department resorted to the dissemination of groundless news.
Several American media, such as the Axios portal, reported that Secretary of State Marco Rubio ordered on Monday that the Iranian delegation participating in the UN General Assembly leave the country.
Among the members of the delegation was Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, whom the United States mission to the UN informed, by order of Marco Rubio, that he should leave New York immediately.
According to the news, the decision will have arisen after Qatar's mediators tried to bring the positions of the United States and Iran closer together to reach an agreement that would end the war, but the talks did not advance and both sides maintained their positions.
According to an American authority cited by the Axios, the Iranian delegation had already “overstayed” since the UN General Assembly had already finished.
Despite the alleged expulsion, Iran announced on Tuesday that it had received a proposal from the United States, after US President Donald Trump rejected the seven-day plan presented by Tehran to reopen the Strait of Ormuz in exchange for a number of conditions.
The details of the proposal were not specified.
The war started by the United States and Israel against Iran entered the eighth month and is at a standstill, marked by the intensification of US sanctions and the naval blockade, as well as sporadic attacks by Tehran on tankers in the Strait of Ormuz.
