Iran remains interested in diplomacy

Iran remains interested in diplomacy, Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi wrote on Tuesday, adding that he and U.S. President Donald Trump’s special envoy had been “on the cusp of a historic breakthrough” before the Israel-Iran war.
The comments, contained in an article written by Araqchi and published in the Financial Times newspaper, offered praise for Trump’s earlier negotiating efforts in a further indication that talks over Iran’s nuclear program may soon restart.
“In only five meetings over nine weeks, U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and I achieved more than I did in four years of nuclear negotiations with the failed Biden administration. We were on the cusp of a historic breakthrough,” he wrote.
