"Araghchi's trips come against the background of the stalled negotiations with the US as both sides reject several of each other's demands. A first round of US-Iran talks in Pakistan in mid-April failed to produce a deal."
"Araghchi said on X that his talks in Oman had focused on reopening the Strait of Hormuz, which runs between Oman and Iran. The Strait's effective closure amid the conflict has led to massive disruptions in the global oil and gas supply."
"Iran's Fars news agency has said, however, that efforts are still ongoing to create conditions for a second round of US-Iran talks, saying that Tehran had sent 'written messages' to Washington via mediator Pakistan."
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi visited Russia to meet President Vladimir Putin, seeking support amid stalled negotiations with the US. His recent trips to Pakistan and Oman aimed to address the widening Middle East conflict and discuss reopening the Strait of Hormuz, crucial for global oil supply. Despite close ties, Russia remains cautious about involvement in regional conflicts while focused on its invasion of Ukraine. Ongoing efforts to facilitate US-Iran talks continue, with Iran outlining its red lines through written messages to Washington.
