TEHRAN (Kashmir English): Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Saturday said that Tehran has never refused to go to Islamabad for possible peace talks, openly acknowledging Pakistan’s efforts to mediate US-Iran talks to stop the ongoing war.

Taking on X, the Iranian top diplomat said that Iran’s position is being misrepresented by the US media, while expressing gratitude to Pakistan for its efforts for peace.

“We are deeply grateful to Pakistan for its efforts and have never refused to go to Islamabad,” he wrote on X.

Furthermore, Araghchi said, “What we care about are the terms of a conclusive and lasting END to the illegal war that is imposed on us.”

He also shared a video showing Iranians waving Pakistan’s flags in an apparent show of appreciation for Pakistan’s stance and its people.
