Araghchi: Iran engaged with US in good faith to end war

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that a good-faith dialogue was held with the United States to end the war, Report informs.

"In intensive talks at the highest level in 47 years, Iran engaged with the US in good faith to end the war. But when just inches away from 'Islamabad MoU', we encountered maximalism, shifting goalposts, and blockade. Zero lessons earned. Good will begets goodwill. Enmity begets enmity," Araghchi wrote on X.
