Foreign Minister Praises Leader’s Insightful Remarks on U.S. Negotiation Strategies
In recent developments, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has responded to remarks made by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, regarding negotiations with the United States. The foreign minister described these statements as “instructive” and pivotal for Iran’s diplomatic strategy.
On Friday, Ayatollah Khamenei characterized the idea of negotiating with the U.S. as “unwise” and “not honorable.” He reflected on Iran’s previous experiences, specifically the 2015 comprehensive deal with six world powers, which included the United States, highlighting that Washington failed to fulfill its commitments under the agreement.
Key points from Ayatollah Khamenei’s statements include:
- Iran is not inherently against negotiations.

- The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is considered “one of the busiest foreign ministries” globally.
In his written message on Saturday, Araghchi expressed gratitude to the Leader for recognizing the efforts of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stating that the acknowledgment made him and his team proud. He emphasized that the ministry would continue to operate based on the principles of dignity, prudence, and expediency.
Furthermore, Araghchi assured that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would leverage all available resources and engage in “political and diplomatic interactions” to safeguard Iran’s national interests and security.
