State Department intervenes to stop Mamdani team’s meeting with Iranian envoy amid war

The Trump administration reportedly intervened to stop a planned meeting between Iran’s UN ambassador and senior officials in New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration, amid soaring tensions with the Iran regime.

According to City Journal, Amir-Saeid Iravani was scheduled to meet Ana María Archila, head of the mayor’s Office for International Affairs, before the US State Department stepped in and informed City Hall the meeting was unacceptable.

The report also says Archila did not inform Mamdani about the planned talks beforehand, raising fresh questions over how the meeting came to be arranged at a time of escalating confrontation between Washington and Tehran.
