Rubio boots Iranian UN delegation from US ahead of schedule

US peace talks with Iran are on shaky ground, while suspected or potential terror plots are allegedly thwarted in the UK and in the skies over the Middle East as President Donald Trump has warned war after the midterms is not out of the question.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio reportedly ordered Iran’s foreign minister and his delegation to leave New York after determining they had “overstayed their welcome” following the U.N. General Assembly.

Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi had remained in New York after Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian departed last week, ostensibly to take part in indirect talks with the U.S. on reopening the Strait of Hormuz, ending the war and reviving nuclear negotiations.

But after weekend meetings with Iranian and Qatari mediators produced little progress, Rubio told the Iranians on Monday that Araghchi and his team had to leave immediately, the officials told The Associated Press.

Araghchi and his delegation departed very early Tuesday.

The Trump administration had granted visas to Iran’s president, foreign minister and other officials to attend the annual U.N. gathering despite the ongoing war, though the visas came with severe restrictions. Read more, and see video here.

Netanyahu credits heroic Israeli plumber on flydubai flight for preventing ‘another 9/11’– vows to find out if Iran was behind attack

Ella Morrison / NEW YORK POST  

The courageous Israeli plumber who helped subdue the alleged hijacker co-pilot of Wednesday’s Tel Aviv-bound flydubai flight was praised by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for preventing “another 9/11.”

Netanyahu praised passenger Yaniv Hayoun for his heroics aboard the flight from Dubai – and vowed to find out if Iran was behind the attack that sent the plane into a horrifying nosedive.

“He acted with a coolness of judgement and heroism that prevented another 9/11,” the prime minister said of Hayoun on Fox News’ “Hannity” Wednesday night.

Netanyahu met with Hayoun, who was “completely stained with the blood,” after making it back to Israeli soil safely.

The hero told the prime minister “he just had to do it” when he selflessly jumped into action from the plane’s 16th row during the bloody attack in an attempt to save the 174 passengers onboard, most of whom were Israelis — including his family. 

“He’s an incredible hero. Look at what he did under impossible circumstances,” Netanyahu told host Sean Hannity.
