Iran FM Araghchi to Share War-End Viewpoints During Regional Talks

Tehran/Islamabad — Iran’s Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi is set to outline Tehran’s position on ending the conflict involving the United States and Israel during his ongoing diplomatic tour, according to reports.

Leading a high-level delegation, Araghchi is visiting Pakistan, Oman, and Russia to strengthen coordination with key partners and discuss evolving regional developments. His stop in Islamabad is expected to play a crucial role in communicating Iran’s stance on how the conflict could be brought to an end.

Iranian media reports indicate that Araghchi will not engage in direct talks with US officials during this visit. Instead, Pakistan is expected to act as a diplomatic channel to convey Iran’s considerations. In Muscat, discussions will focus on regional issues and the broader conflict, while in Moscow, he will review bilateral, regional, and international developments with Russian counterparts.

In a statement shared on X, Araghchi described the trip as a timely effort to coordinate closely with regional partners, emphasizing that neighboring countries remain a priority in Iran’s foreign policy approach.

Iran has also indicated that it currently has no plans to resume negotiations with the United States, particularly in light of ongoing tensions. Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan confirmed that the Iranian delegation arrived in Islamabad on Friday night.

The recent escalation began with joint strikes by Israel and the United States on Iranian targets, followed by retaliatory missile and drone attacks from Tehran. Although a ceasefire was reached earlier this month, diplomatic efforts have struggled to gain traction.

Subsequent peace talks in Islamabad failed to produce a breakthrough, and tensions remain high, particularly after the US imposed a naval blockade on the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has since declined to participate in further negotiations, citing the blockade and what it described as excessive demands from Washington.

Araghchi’s current tour is being closely watched as a potential step toward reviving diplomatic momentum and exploring pathways to de-escalation in the region.
