He has never rejected peace talks

The Iranian Foreign Minister, Abbas Araqchi, assured this Saturday that his country has never rejected possible peace talks with the United States on Pakistani soil and that any information about a refusal from his country is nothing more than an adulteration of the reality disseminated by the American media.

Araqchi’s Pakistani counterpart, Ishaq Dar, responded to the Iranian Foreign Minister’s message with words of praise: “I sincerely appreciate your clarification, my dear brother.”
