Iran’s top diplomat questions if US is ‘truly serious’ about diplomacy after Trump cancels envoys trip
Iran's top diplomat questions the US's seriousness about diplomacy after President Trump cancels a US delegation's trip to Pakistan, citing a new proposal from Tehran that is 'a lot but not enough.' Iran has executed two people, including one for his alleged role in January protests.
Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, has questioned whether the US is 'truly serious about diplomacy' after President Donald Trump canceled plans for a US delegation to visit Pakistan. Trump said talks will continue by phone after Iran declined to meet directly with American negotiators. Iran has since sent a new proposal to the US, which Trump described as 'a lot but not enough.' The diplomatic efforts are stalled, with a US naval blockade causing economic hardship for Iranians and Tehran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz having global economic ripple effects. Meanwhile, Israel has launched deadly strikes on southern Lebanon despite a recent ceasefire agreement. Iran has executed two people, including Erfan Kiani for his alleged involvement in January's anti-government protests and Amer Ramesh for 'armed rebellion' and membership in the separatist group Jaish al-Adl.
