Minister Abbas Araghchi
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has dismissed the idea of his country’s supreme leader meeting Donald Trump, after the US president floated the prospect.
On Wednesday, Trump told the New York Post: “Yeah, I’d like to meet him,” when he was asked about a possible encounter, adding that “we probably will meet at some point, depending on how it all works out”.
Iran’s top diplomat however played down the chances in an interview with Lebanese media aired on Thursday night, suggesting it was not realistic.
