Direct Iran-US communications have been suspended, senior Iranian official says

Direct communications between Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff have been suspended, a senior Iranian official tells Reuters, after US President Donald Trump’s threats to intervene amid nationwide protests in Iran.

The senior official adds that US threats undermine diplomatic efforts and that potential meetings between the two officials to find a diplomatic solution to a decades-long nuclear dispute have been canceled.
