Iran’s Parliament is preparing to question Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi over his contacts with US officials during his recent visit to the United States, according to Iranian media.
Mohammad Rashidi, a member of Parliament’s presiding board, said a request to question Araghchi has been registered in the legislative and oversight system but has not yet been referred to the presiding board, Tasnim News Agency reported.
Araghchi reportedly held meetings in New York on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, where he sought to advance efforts toward an agreement with Washington.
According to the reports, Iran conveyed a proposal to the United States through a Qatari mediator outlining specific conditions for a potential agreement.
Washington later submitted a response through the same channel, although the details of the US response have not been made public.
The reported parliamentary move comes as political scrutiny grows over Tehran’s diplomatic engagement with Washington and the terms of any potential negotiations.
