"The signals in the last two three days are that we are close to some sort of an arrangement." Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi met Pakistani Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi in Tehran on Tuesday, Araqchi's Telegram channel said on Tuesday, without providing further details. Iran has hit back by striking US assets and infrastructure in ​countries including Oman, Jordan, Kuwait, Israel, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi ⁠said on Sunday that Iran and the US were not holding direct talks but that messages were being exchanged through intermediaries. The fatalities aboard the Egyptian-owned Tihamah, if confirmed, would be the first deaths in ​a Houthi ​strike on shipping since the Iran war began.
