According to an American official and another person familiar with the matter, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio asked the Iranian delegation to the United Nations General Assembly on Monday to leave the US immediately after negotiations stalled. Although the Iranian delegation may have left in the near future, Rubio's move was an extremely unusual diplomatic reprimand, revealing the deep-seated distrust between the two countries at a time when efforts to mediate an end to the war had not progressed. Qatar's mediators tried to facilitate a diplomatic breakthrough between the US and Iran, but little progress was made, and both sides were unwilling to make concessions. Among those asked to leave New York was Rubio's Iranian counterpart, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Alagazzi.
