It is being said that the Iranian delegation that came to New York for the United Nations General Assembly will be sent back before the scheduled time.
According to news agency AP, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio had ordered Iran's Foreign Minister and his delegation to leave before their scheduled event in New York for the United Nations General Assembly. Two American officials gave this information to the agency on Wednesday.
The Trump administration had given visas to Iranian President Masoud Pezheshkian and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi to visit America with their delegation. This visa, issued with strict conditions, was given to attend the annual meeting of the United Nations General Assembly.
Iranian President Masoud Pezheshkian left New York last week, a day after giving a speech at the United Nations. But Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi was staying in New York.
It was told that he was going to participate in indirect talks with America. These talks included issues like reopening the Strait of Hormuz, ending the conflict and resuming talks on Iran's nuclear program.
According to AP, Araghchi was scheduled to stay in New York till Wednesday.
Iran replied
However, Iran has rejected this report. The Iranian Mission to the UN has said in a post from its official account on Twitter that the US State Department is spreading false news.
The Iranian mission wrote in its post, "The Iranian delegation left New York on Monday evening as per the same schedule, information about which was already informed to the US State Department on September 17." After not being able to achieve anything, the US State Department is now resorting to spreading baseless and baseless news.

The AP wrote in its report, "Rubio lost his patience after meetings with Qatari mediators made little progress." According to two US officials, on Monday he told the Iranian side that Araghchi and his delegation must leave New York immediately.
“The officials provided this information on condition of anonymity to discuss internal administrative procedures. According to one official, Rubio believed that the Iranian delegation had "stayed in the United States longer than necessary" and that since the high-level meetings at the UN had ended, it should leave.
The news of sending the Iranian delegation ahead of schedule was first reported by Axios news website.
Axios wrote in its report, "Although the Iranian delegation was likely to leave soon anyway, Rubio's move is considered an unusual diplomatic rebuke." It also reflects the deep distrust between the two countries, especially at a time when no significant progress is being made in efforts to end the war.
Qatari mediators tried to broker a diplomatic solution between the US and Iran, but little progress was made. Neither of the parties was ready to back down from their stand.
Axios wrote, "The US official said, "Secretary of State Rubio dismissed the Iranian delegation because they had overstayed. The UN General Assembly had ended, so it was time for them to leave."
On Wednesday, when reporters asked President Trump how he could compromise with a regime he described as crazy, Trump said, "Maybe I'll blow them up. Maybe I'll blow them up. We have to take this decision. Either we will blow them up or we will make a compromise. But now the time has come. One way or another this is going to end very soon."
Story of enmity between Iran and America
In 1953, America and Britain ousted the democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh of Iran and handed over power to Pahlavi.
Mohammad Mossadegh had nationalized Iran's oil industry and he wanted the power of the Shah to be reduced.
The way America carried out a coup in Iran in 1953 was probably the result of the Iranian Revolution of 1979. The bitterness between Iran and the West has not ended in these 47 years.
Diplomatic relations between Iran and the United States ended immediately following the results of the revolution.
A group of Iranian students took over the US Embassy in Tehran and held 52 American citizens hostage for 444 days.
Their demand was to American President Jimmy Carter to send Shah back. Shah had gone to New York for cancer treatment.
The hostages were not released until Ronald Reagan became President of the United States. Ultimately Pahlavi died in Egypt and Khomeini concentrated his power more on religion.
Amidst all this, Saddam Hussein attacked Iran in 1980. A bloody war continued between Iran and Iraq for eight years. America was with Saddam Hussein in this war. Even the Soviet Union helped Saddam Hussein.
