Iranian Parliament receives request to interrogate Foreign Minister Araghchi

A request has been filed in the Iranian Parliament to interrogate Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. The move follows criticism regarding his meeting with U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff in New York during the UN General Assembly. Critics, including Tasnim News Agency and political expert Ehsan Salehi, argue the meeting occurred without proper coordination or authorization from policy-making institutions, suggesting it may have bypassed official channels and mediators.

Separately, Araghchi has expressed Iran's readiness for a diplomatic solution to ongoing tensions with the United States, asserting that military confrontation and economic sanctions will not resolve the conflict. He emphasized that negotiations based on justice and principles are the only path to stability. While Iran has proposed plans involving the cessation of hostilities and the release of frozen assets, U.S. President Donald Trump has reportedly rejected the explicit proposal, though indirect communication channels remain open.
