Rubio expels Iranian UN delegation after stalled talks

Secretary of State Marco Rubio ordered the Iranian delegation to the UN General Assembly to leave the U.S. immediately after negotiations stalled, a highly unusual diplomatic rebuke. Qatari mediators failed to broker a breakthrough, underscoring deep U.S.-Iran distrust amid ongoing war. The move signals a hardening of U.S. posture and reduces near-term prospects for diplomatic de-escalation.
