Two members of Iran’s delegation to the United Nations have been expelled from the United States. The measure was attributed to the U.S. State Department.

According to Clarín, the two members of the Iranian delegation remained in New York for several days after the conclusion of the UN General Assembly. The same account maintains that they failed to comply with an order to leave the United States.

The U.S. State Department adopted the measure, according to the account reported by the sources. The New Indian Express explicitly attributed the expulsion to the department, while Clarín reported that the U.S. agency intervened after verifying that the two remained in New York.

The location identified in the available information is New York, where the presence of the two members after the end of the General Assembly was reportedly confirmed. The sources, however, do not confirm that the city was also the precise location where the expulsion was carried out.

India Today and The New Indian Express reported the removal of two Iranian representatives connected to the delegation to the UN. The reports therefore agree on the central fact of the expulsion, while using different wording to describe their role.

The available information does not clarify the specific legal basis for the decision. Nor does it confirm whether the two members had formal diplomatic status: some sources describe them as diplomats, while others refer more generally to members or components of the delegation.

Details of the implementation of the measure also remain unspecified. The documented account makes it possible to state that the two members of Iran’s delegation were expelled from the United States and to link the measure, according to Clarín, to their remaining in New York beyond the conclusion of the General Assembly and their failure to comply with the order to leave.
