Iran live updates: Iranian foreign minister will meet with Putin in Russia, official says

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in St. Petersburg during his scheduled trip to Russia Monday, according to Iran's ambassador to Russia, Kazem Jalali.

"In continuation of the diplomatic jihad to advance the country's interests and amid external threats, the Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran will meet with the President of Russia during his trip to St. Petersburg," Jalali said in a post on X Sunday afternoon.

It was a busy weekend for Araghchi, who traveled to Oman once and Pakistan twice before heading to Russia Sunday evening.

Iran's semi-official news agencies Fars and ISNA reported that Tehran conveyed written messages to the U.S. via Pakistani mediators, letters that addressed some of Iran's "red lines," including issues related to its nuclear program and the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

Iranian media reports that Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has conveyed written messages to the United States via Pakistan during his recent regional tour.

According to Iran's semi-official Fars News Agency, the messages outline Tehran's "red lines" in peace negotiations, including issues related to its nuclear program and the Strait of Hormuz.

Fars added that the exchange of messages does not constitute negotiations but is an "initiative" by Iran to clarify the situation in the region and the country's red lines.

Meanwhile, the semi-official Tasnim News Agency reported that Araghchi has returned to Islamabad to continue consultations with Pakistani officials, and that the visit is not related to nuclear talks.

Tasnim said conveying Iran's conditions for ending the war to Pakistan, the government of which is acting as a mediator, is one of the "key objectives" of the trip.

Araghchi would discuss the legal status of the Strait of Hormuz, compensation, guarantees against further military action, and the lifting of the naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, according to Tasnim.

Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, arrived in Islamabad Sunday following talks with Oman's sultan in Muscat as regional diplomatic efforts to end the war continue, according to Iran's semi-official Tasnim News Agency.

Araghchi first arrived in Islamabad on Friday evening and met with Pakistan's prime minister, foreign minister and army chief, in what Iranian media described as an effort to convey Tehran's position on the conflict.

Tasnim also reported that Araghchi held phone calls with his Qatari and Saudi counterparts to discuss developments surrounding the ceasefire and ongoing diplomatic efforts related to the conflict between Iran and the U.S.

Oman has for years acted as a back channel for different negotiations between Tehran and Washington.

Since the U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran began on February 28, Iran has launched strikes against several countries in the region, including Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Both countries are influential Arab states with close ties to the U.S., despite not being direct parties to the conflict.
