Iran FM Says US Willing to Continue Talks, Open to China's Help
Iran said it received U.S. messages on continuing talks and welcomed Chinese support, while Pakistan remains a key mediator after an April round failed.
- On Friday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said he 'received messages' from the United States expressing willingness to continue talks, and that Iran welcomes diplomatic support from China to help resolve the conflict.
- Pakistan's mediation process remains in a 'very difficult course' due to American behavior and deep mistrust, Araghchi said, after the first round of talks in Islamabad in April failed to reach agreements.
- Republican Senator Lindsey Graham challenged Pakistan's neutrality on Tuesday, citing reports that Iranian military aircraft used Pakistani airbases; Graham warned Washington should seek a different mediator if assets are shielded.
- Tehran views Beijing as vital to breaking the impasse, with Araghchi describing China as a 'strategic partner' whose diplomatic assistance would be 'welcomed by the Islamic Republic,' referencing past success with Saudi Arabia.
- President Donald Trump rejected Iranian counter-proposals as 'totally unacceptable,' expressing frustration over the continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz and demanding restoration of maritime traffic through the critical shipping lane.
