Tehran, March 17 (Xinhua) — Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi categorically denied reports of his alleged contacts with US Presidential Special Envoy Steven Witkoff.
A. Araghchi wrote about this on Tuesday morning on the social network X, commenting on a report by the American news portal Axios, which claimed the opposite, while the American-Israeli campaign against Iran entered its 18th day.
“My last contact with S. Witkoff took place before his employer decided to end diplomacy by launching an illegal military attack on Iran,” A. Araghchi said.
“Any claims to the contrary appear to be aimed solely at misleading oil traders and the public,” he added.
Speaking at a press conference in Tehran on Monday, A. Araghchi emphasized that Iran had not sent any messages to the United States requesting a ceasefire, noting that the war must end in such a way that it does not happen again. –0–
