Iran’s top diplomat returns to Pakistan despite Trump canceling envoys’ visit
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi returned to Pakistan for talks with mediators despite US President Donald Trump canceling plans for his envoys to visit. The fragile ceasefire in Lebanon is under pressure as Israel and Hezbollah increased attacks on each other.
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi landed in Pakistan for a meeting with mediators after holding talks with Oman. Araghchi expressed uncertainty about Washington's seriousness about diplomacy after Trump scrapped plans for his envoys to visit Pakistan. Trump said talks will continue by phone after Iran declined to meet directly with American negotiators. The US-brokered ceasefire in Lebanon is under growing pressure as Israel and Hezbollah increased attacks on each other. A US naval blockade is causing rising food prices and unemployment in Iran, while Tehran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz has economic ripple effects worldwide. Araghchi has nearly 30 years of diplomatic experience and was instrumental in negotiating the 2015 nuclear agreement with the West.
