The US mission told Iran’s team Monday evening that Abbas Araghchi and his delegation had to leave immediately, and they boarded a 1:20 a.m. flight to Doha, though a second source says he was heading home that night anyway.
A US official didn’t sugarcoat it:
“Secretary Rubio kicked out the Iranian delegation who had overstayed their welcome.
The UN General Assembly was over, so it was time for them to go.”
Booting Tehran’s top diplomat while Qatar is still carrying your counteroffer is a power move, and it only pays off if Iran folds before Washington’s patience runs out.
