Iranian officials have denied reports that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio ordered the country’s delegation to leave the United States after talks on a peace agreement stalled. The claim, cited by media outlets, alleged that Rubio instructed Iranian diplomats, including Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, to depart the country following the breakdown of negotiations. Iranian authorities have dismissed the report as false, emphasizing that no such order was issued.
The dispute centers on stalled discussions aimed at ending a regional conflict. Reports suggest that the negotiations, held during the UN General Assembly, reached an impasse over key terms. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has reiterated the need for a mutually beneficial agreement, stating that any resolution must be based on a win-win strategy. Meanwhile, the US has continued to express concerns over the situation, with some political figures, including former President Donald Trump, rejecting recent ceasefire proposals from Iran.
This follows a pattern of diplomatic tensions between the two nations. Earlier this week, oil prices rose as Trump rejected an Iranian offer for a seven-day truce, raising concerns about inflation and regional stability. The current impasse highlights the ongoing challenges in achieving a lasting peace agreement, with both sides struggling to align on critical terms. The situation remains under close scrutiny as both nations continue to engage in diplomatic efforts.
