Araghchi

Iranian FM Araghchi says the Mexican embassy in Ankara has waived fingerprinting requirements for Iran's national football team after diplomatic contacts in Turkey.

Iran's government spokesperson:

"All those involved in the negotiations understand the battlefield. Ghalibaf was a field commander, Araghchi was a wartime soldier. The armed forces have their finger on the trigger, and the diplomacy team operates with that same mindset."

Get ready for a clown news cycle after the latest Axios report that the U.S. and Iran have reached an agreement.

Until the IRGC confirms, there’s nothing here yet. Even when Aragachi says something, it’s still not final.

The report was an intentional leak.

Iranian report: Iran is preparing for a second phase of war. A meeting this week between Ghalibaf, the IRGC, the Iranian president, and FM Araghchi focused entirely on war scenarios, not diplomacy.

According to IRGC-affiliated Tasnim, there are currently no plans to negotiate with the United States. Araghchi is traveling to Pakistan to discuss regional issues and Iran's perspective on ending the war, not to meet with American officials.

South Korea's Foreign Ministry special envoy met with Iranian FM Araghchi.

Iran's negotiation delegation has landed in Pakistan. Ghalibaf and Araghchi reportedly flew on separate planes for security reasons.
