Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi departed Islamabad for Moscow on Sunday, his ministry said, ping-ponging from capital to capital as mediators hoped to keep peace talks between Tehran and the United States alive.
“During this visit, the foreign minister will meet senior officials of the Russian Federation and discuss bilateral Iran-Russia relations, as well as regional and international developments,” the foreign ministry said on its Telegram account.
Araghchi sandwiched a visit to Oman’s Muscat in between trips to the Pakistani capital, and was set to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Monday, according to the Iranian ambassador, but there remained no indication that direct US-Iranian talks would resume.
