[U.S.-Iran negotiations reached an impasse, Rubio asked the Iranian delegation to leave the United States immediately] October 1, according to a report from the U.S. Axios news website on September 30, US Secretary of State Rubio asked the delegation led by the Iranian Foreign Minister to leave the United States immediately after the negotiations between the two sides reached an impasse. The report quoted US officials as saying that under Rubio's instruction, the US Permanent Mission to the United Nations informed Iran's Permanent Mission to the United Nations on the evening of the 28th that the Iranian delegation led by Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi must leave New York immediately. According to reports, early on the 28th, the United States believed that negotiations with Iran might make progress that day, but subsequent negotiations reached a deadlock. The report believes that the Iranian delegation had planned to return on the evening of the 28th. Rubio's move was "a very unusual diplomatic condemnation that exposed the deep-rooted distrust between the two countries."
