Iranian Parliament Receives Request to Question Araghchi After Witkoff Meeting Controversy

A request to question Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has been submitted in parliament, according to an announcement on Tuesday.

The move follows controversy surrounding a meeting involving Witkoff, placing Araghchi’s diplomatic contacts under parliamentary scrutiny.

The brief announcement did not identify the lawmakers behind the request or set out the specific questions they want the foreign minister to answer.

It also gave no date for a potential session or indication that parliament had approved the request. Submission alone does not confirm that questioning will take place.
