Iran’s acting foreign minister Bagheri announced ongoing negotiations with the US, facilitated by Oman. Despite no diplomatic relations since 1979, talks have continued amid regional tensions.
Bagheri’s visit to Lebanon, citing it as the “cradle of resistance” against Israel, highlights Iran’s support for Hezbollah. The Shiite group, allied with Hamas, has engaged in conflict with Israel since the recent Gaza war.
Regarding Iran’s nuclear activities, discussions with Western powers persist. Bagheri urged them not to miss the opportunity for cooperation at the UN nuclear watchdog meeting in Vienna.
UK, France, and Germany plan to address Iran’s lack of cooperation with the IAEA, following shelved efforts in March due to US support. Bagheri’s upcoming trip to Syria further underscores Iran’s regional engagements.
Overall, Iran’s diplomatic efforts, regional alliances, and nuclear discussions are key priorities for Bagheri, as he navigates complex relationships and international scrutiny.
