        "summary": "The United States has quietly expelled Iran's Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Saadat Aghajani, along with two other diplomats since December 2026, citing national security concerns without publicly declaring them persona non grata. This action follows internal mechanisms and includes restrictions on Iranian diplomats' movements within a 40-kilometre radius of Manhattan, with one expulsion due to a violation of these limits. The move underscores ongoing tensions between the US and Iran, highlighting discreet diplomatic measures to address perceived security threats.",
        "content": "<p>The United States has expelled Iran\u2019s Deputy Permanent Representative\nto the United Nations, Saadat Aghajani. He was expelled since December\n2026 on national security grounds. Initially, the US expelled Aghajani\nafter the US State Department sent an official notification to the\nIranian mission at the UN in New York. As reported by Axios on Friday\n(3\/4). This procedure is generally carried out in cases suspected to\ninvolve national security or activities not in line with diplomatic\nduties. The US did not publicise the charges against Aghajani. However,\nthe expulsion of the Iranian diplomat from the UN was based on an\ninternal mechanism. The diplomat was asked to leave without being\nofficially declared persona non grata or an unwanted person. According\nto the Axios report, Aghajani\u2019s children were allowed to continue\nschooling in New York and will leave the US in February 2027. In\naddition to Aghajani, two other Iranian diplomats were expelled from\nUncle Sam\u2019s country. \u201cThe US issued a Verbal Note on 4 December\nregarding the status of certain Iranian personnel at the UN. For privacy\nand security reasons,\u201d said a US State Department official. US\nauthorities also restricted Iranian diplomats\u2019 travel within a 25-mile\n(approximately 40-kilometre) radius around Manhattan. One Iranian\ndiplomat was expelled for violating that restriction. Thus, over the\npast six months, three Iranian diplomats have been expelled from the\nUS.<\/p>",
