Direct contacts between Iran’s foreign minister and US envoy suspended

Direct contacts between Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and U.S. President’s Special Envoy Steve Witkoff have been suspended, an anonymous Iranian official told Reuters, The Daily Baku reports.

The official said that U.S. threats are undermining diplomatic efforts.

The source also noted that potential meetings between Witkoff and Araqchi on the nuclear issue have been canceled.

Recall that earlier U.S. President Donald Trump announced the cancellation of all meetings with Iranian officials.
