Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Friday said that putting diplomacy with the US back on track is “not impossible,” following talks with Qatar’s prime minister and foreign minister in Tehran, Anadolu reports.
Araghchi said on US social media company X that he “had creative discussions” with Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani.
“Putting diplomacy back on track isn’t impossible. It hinges on U.S. understanding of one simple fact: pressure doesn’t work,” he said.
“The U.S. should build trust, speak respectfully, acknowledge our rights, and uphold commitments,” the Iranian foreign minister added.
