Araghchi lands in Tunisia for talks, thanks Egypt for role in ‘diplomatic process’
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has arrived in Tunisia for-high level talks, continuing his North African diplomatic tour following a visit to Cairo, where he advanced nuclear talks with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Upon arrival, Araghchi was officially welcomed by his Tunisian counterpart, Mohamed Ali Nafti.
Iran’s top diplomat is scheduled to hold official meetings with both the Tunisian foreign minister and president on Wednesday, with discussions expected to focus on bilateral relations as well as regional and international developments.
Araghchi visited Cairo on Tuesday to meet with Egyptian officials and Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Grossi, with the aim of advancing the negotiations between Iran and the agency.
In post on his X account on Tuesday, Araghchi expressed Iran’s “deep gratitude and appreciation to the Egyptian government for its prominent and constructive role in facilitating the diplomatic process.”
تعرب الجمهورية الإسلامية الإيرانية عن بالغ شكرها وتقديرها لحكومة جمهورية مصر العربية، لدورها البارز والبناء في تسهيل مسار الدبلوماسية.

He added that the framework for cooperation with the IAEA depends on “avoiding illegal and provocative actions” and requires mutual responsiveness to Iran’s goodwill.
“It was possible with the efforts of the Egyptian foreign minister and the support of President El-Sisi,” he said, noting that the Iranian nation considers itself a friend to any nation that prefers peace over conflict and tension.
Iran and the IAEA reached an agreement on Tuesday aimed at paving the way for the resumption of cooperation between the two sides.
The agreement was signed between Araghchi and Grossi in Cairo, which had undertaken to host talks between the two sides.
The agreement came about after the Islamic Republic suspended cooperation with the agency in the aftermath of unprovoked Israeli-American attacks against key Iranian nuclear facilities in June.
The suspension came into force in line with a law passed by Majlis (the Iranian Parliament) that had been passed in protest at an anti-Iran resolution ratified by the IAEA under Western and Israeli pressure that was used by the aggressors to try to justify the attacks.
