The United States will boycott a United Nations tribute to Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, who was killed earlier this month in a helicopter crash, a US official said.
The 193-member UN General Assembly traditionally meets to pay tribute to any world leader who was a sitting head of state at the time of their death. The tribute will feature speeches about Mr Raisi.
"We won't attend this event in any capacity," a US official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Reuters. The US boycott has not previously been reported.
