Amidst the ongoing war between Iran and America, diplomatic activities at the regional level have intensified. Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi may return to Pakistan after completing his tour of Oman and after that his next stop will be Russia. According to Reuters, this visit is part of an effort to garner support and dialogue regarding the current war.
Araghchi was earlier on a visit to Pakistan, where he met Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Army Chief Asim Munir and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar. In these meetings, the relations between the two countries and the changing situation in the region were discussed. However, no major results emerged from these talks. Despite this, Araghchi described his visit as useful and said that he had made Iran’s position clear regarding ending the war.

Araghchi targets America
Targeting America, Araghchi said that now it is up to Washington to decide whether it really wants talks or not. Iran has been continuously blaming the policies of America and Israel for this war. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump canceled the proposed visit of the US delegation to Pakistan. Trump said that America has all the options and there is no need to travel long distances for useless talks. He also said that if Iran wants, it can contact itself. Araghchi is expected to meet senior officials in Oman’s capital Muscat. During this, along with the relations between the two countries, the regional situation will also be discussed. Oman has often played the role of mediator in such cases.
Tension increased regarding Strait of Hormuz
Meanwhile, the situation became more serious when tension regarding the Strait of Hormuz increased. This is an important sea route of the world, from where oil is supplied in large quantities. According to reports, after the situation worsened, the US Navy has increased its presence in the region, which may affect the global energy supply. On the other hand, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has given a strong warning to America. Referring to the Tabas incident, he said that America had to face defeat here in history. He described it as a symbol of Iran’s strength and security from external threats.
Iran is avoiding direct talks with America
Iran is currently avoiding direct talks with America and is conveying its messages through countries like Pakistan. Iranian sources say that even though there is talk of a ceasefire, Tehran is in no mood to accept America’s strict conditions. The situation still remains uncertain. On one side diplomatic efforts are going on while on the other side the tension seems to be increasing instead of decreasing.
