TREE NEWS update: Iran’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations said its delegation left New York on the evening of September 28, a departure it had notified the US State Department about in advance on September 17. The mission said the US State Department, having gained nothing from the talks, then spread baseless and worthless claims. US reports on September 30 said the September 28 US-Iran talks reached a deadlock with neither side willing to concede, after which Secretary of State Marco Rubio demanded the Iranian delegation leave the United States immediately.
Iran Says New York Delegation Exit Was Pre-Planned, Notified US in Advance
The competing accounts of the same departure — Tehran framing it as a scheduled, pre-notified exit and Washington as an expulsion after stalled talks — mean the public record now turns on a documented notification rather than on the outcome of the negotiations themselves. That shifts the dispute from the substance of the talks to the credibility of each side's narrative, which matters for any party trying to read the state of US-Iran channels. Whether the two accounts can be reconciled, and whether the notification claim is corroborated, is the open question.
