Iran’s top diplomat will stop in Qatar on way to US
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi will stop briefly in Qatar before going to New York for the U.N. General Assembly, the state-run IRNA news agency reported.
Tehran has said it is awaiting a U.S. response to conditions it conveyed through Qatar for ending the war. Iran’s Supreme National Security Council chief Mohsen Rezaei told Al Jazeera on Saturday the conditions include ending the war on all fronts, releasing Iranian assets seized by the U.S. and ending the U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports.
Araghchi is among Iran’s senior officials given visas by Washington to attend the U.N. gathering, along with President Masoud Pezeshkian, despite the war.
