US Quietly Expels Iran's UN Ambassador, Deepening Rift

0:00On April 3, last December, the U.S. quietly expelled Iran's deputy ambassador to the United Nations, Saadid Agajani, over serious national security issues. They handled it through an internal tool called Section 13 Procedures, skipping the formal persona non-grata label.
