Iran and the United States remain locked in a tense diplomatic standoff after Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi rejected Washington’s account that Iranian diplomats were expelled following the UN General Assembly. Araghchi said the delegation left according to its previously announced schedule, while the United States has presented a different account involving two Iranian delegation members. Tehran has also warned that any renewed military confrontation would trigger a stronger response, while insisting that diplomacy remains possible. The dispute comes amid continuing tensions over the Strait of Hormuz, with Iran linking its reopening to conditions in its diplomatic proposal and Washington maintaining military and economic pressure.
