Iran’s Araghchi Arrives in Russia to Meet Putin as US Talks Stall
Get caught up.
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi arrived in Russia where he will meet with President Vladimir Putin. The Iranian minister said he needed to coordinate with Russian officials after the US-Israeli military campaign against the Islamic Republic disrupted bilateral meetings.
The trip comes after an Axios report said Tehran was signaling willingness to accept an interim deal with the US whereby Iran reopens the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for Washington ending its blockade of Iranian ports.
