Iran says it does not want to continue conflict with US, holds Beijing talks
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran is not interested in continuing its conflict with the US and wants a diplomatic solution, speaking during talks with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Beijing. The visit comes amid escalating hostilities in West Asia and disruption to shipping.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Wednesday that Tehran is not interested in continuing the conflict with the US and looks forward to returning to a diplomatic solution. He made the remarks while holding talks with his Chinese counterpart, Wang Yi, and briefing him on the latest developments in West Asia.
Araghchi's visit to Beijing comes amid an escalation of hostilities in West Asia following military advances by Yemen's Houthis, formally known as Ansar Allah. The Iran-aligned Yemeni political and armed movement has stepped up attacks on Saudi Arabia and taken control of the strategic Bab el-Mandeb Strait in the Red Sea.
The Iran-US war has already restricted the movement of ships and oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, causing a widespread energy crisis.
