Two Iranian Guards at UN Expelled for Filming New York Sites
(New York Times) The U.S. has expelled two security guards at Iran's UN mission after they were seen filming and photographing New York landmark buildings and parts of the city's transportation system. "They were asked to leave because we were very concerned about their activities, which weren't compatible with their stated duties," said American mission spokesman Richard Grenell. The language is common diplomatic wording for espionage cases. The two men were ordered out last weekend after pairs of Iranian guards had been seen for the third time in two years videotaping bridges, tunnels, the Statue of Liberty, and other landmark buildings, according to an American diplomat.
