Rubio Follows Through After Iranian Diplomats Ignore Order to Leave


By Jasmine Baehr

Two members of Iran’s delegation to the United Nations General Assembly were “kicked out” of the U.S. after failing to comply with a State Department order to leave the country.

“Secretary Rubio means business. Two more members of the Iranian delegation were found still in New York long after the UN General Assembly had passed. They have now been kicked out of the country,” a U.S. official told Fox News Digital.

The State Department ordered Iran’s entire delegation to leave the U.S. immediately on Monday, but the two diplomats remained in New York, according to an Axios report.

Iran’s mission to the U.N. was told Friday that the U.S. was aware the diplomats had not left and was again instructed that they needed to depart immediately, Axios reported. One diplomat left Friday night and the other Saturday morning, according to the outlet.
