TEHRAN, Oct 4 - RIA Novosti. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi denied the assertion of the American authorities that representatives of the Iranian delegation who participated in the high-level week of the UN General Assembly were expelled from the United States.
The Axios portal, citing an American official, previously reported that two Iranian officials who arrived in the United States to participate in the high-level week of the UN General Assembly, but did not leave the States after its completion, were allegedly asked to leave the country on Saturday.
“The Americans’ claim that they expelled the Iranian delegation – whether it’s true or not – is really strange, since we arrived (in the US – ed.) and returned (to Iran – ed.) ourselves, according to a pre-approved program,” Araqchi said at a meeting with the heads of foreign diplomatic missions.
Axios previously reported that Rubio demanded that the Iranian delegation attending the UN General Assembly immediately leave the States after negotiations stalled.
