🚨 Tehran to make decision regarding talks with US, Iran's top diplomat tells Putin
🚨
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said his meeting Monday with Russian President Vladimir Putin included detailed discussions on “the war and the aggression” by the United States and Israel.
Araghchi briefed Putin on a diplomatic process mediated by Pakistan aimed at fully ending what he called the “imposed war” and establishing peace and security in the Persian Gulf region, including the Strait of Hormuz, Iran’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
Iran is reassessing how to proceed with diplomacy to end the war, Araghchi said, citing US and Israeli military action against Iran and what he described as Washington’s destabilizing approach to negotiations.
Araghchi blamed slow progress on what he called Washington’s “destructive habits.” He said these include insisting on “unreasonable demands,” frequently changing positions, using threatening rhetoric and repeatedly breaching commitments.
Tehran will “make the appropriate decision regarding the current diplomatic process” in light of those factors, Araghchi said to Putin.
Araghchi’s trip to Russia follows recent visits to Oman and Pakistan. Earlier, he gave Pakistani officials a list of “red lines” to convey to the US, including on “nuclear issues and the Strait of Hormuz.”
Meanhile, Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov met Iran’s deputy defense minster, Brig. Gen. Reza Talaei-Nik, on Monday.
Belousov said in a statement that Russia supports resolving the conflict “exclusively through diplomatic means,” backs Iran’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and is “ready to do everything possible” to help resolve the situation.
