Iran's mission to the United Nations denies the expulsion of its delegation from New York and confirms its departure according to an agreed upon schedule

Iran's Permanent Mission to the United Nations confirmed that its delegation left New York according to a schedule previously agreed upon with the United States of America, describing the circulating news as "worthless", after a report on US Secretary of State Marco Rubio's "expulsion" of the Iranian delegation.

Axios published a report on an American source who claimed that Rubio "expelled the Iranian delegation in light of the stalemate in negotiations between the two countries."

The Iranian mission to the United Nations previously wrote on its page on the “X” platform, Twitter: “The Iranian delegation left New York on Monday evening, according to the schedule that had also been informed to the American side through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in advance on September 17.”

The Tehran mission continued by saying: “Because it did not achieve anything, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs resorted to promoting baseless and worthless news.”

There has been no official comment yet from the US State Department on this information or on the Iranian response.

US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that the United States is "considering" a possible response against Tehran, after the British Prime Minister said there were "strong indications" of Iran's involvement in the alleged plan to target a British air base used by the US military over the weekend.
