Tensions reportedly flared during overnight U.S.–Iran talks in Islamabad, with Turkish journalist Cetiner Cetin claiming a heated exchange between Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff nearly turned physical.
Cetin wrote on X: “A few minutes ago, there was tension between Minister Abbas Araghchi and Witkoff that nearly led to a physical fight due to serious disagreements over the management of the Strait of Hormuz. Never threaten the Iranians.”
According to The New York Times, citing Iranian officials familiar with the talks, key disputes remain over reopening the Strait of Hormuz, the fate of Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile, and Tehran’s demand for the release of roughly $27 billion in frozen assets.
U.S. officials reportedly pushed for the immediate reopening of the strait, but Iran rejected the demand, saying there will be no change until a broader agreement is reached.
