Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi arrived in New York on Monday to attend the 81st United Nations General Assembly, marking his first US visit since the start of the US-Iran war. The visit comes amid heightened tensions in West Asia and widening regional conflict involving the Houthis. The United States approved visas for Iran’s core delegation, including Araghchi and President Masoud Pezeshkian, while imposing movement and purchasing restrictions. Araghchi briefly stopped in Doha for consultations with Qatari officials on regional developments before reaching New York. Pezeshkian is scheduled to travel to New York on Tuesday and address the General Assembly. Araghchi is leading Iran’s diplomatic delegation during the high-level UN meetings.
