Iran will only accept “a fair and comprehensive agreement” in its negotiations with the US on ending the war in the Middle East, its foreign minister says.
“We will do our best to protect our legitimate rights and interests in the negotiations,” says Abbas Araghchi in Beijing, after meeting with China’s top diplomat Wang Yi. “We only accept a fair and comprehensive agreement.”
The remarks, quoted by Iranian media, do not directly address Trump’s announcement of a pause in the US operation to escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz.
