Abbas Arakhchi, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic, announced in a conversation with Radio Iran that the movement of mediators has stopped in recent days and the reason for this is the shock caused by the results of the mid-term elections in the USA.
In response to a question about the brokers' trips, Arjechi said: "There have been no daily trips for several days. The main reason is that the results of the American elections finally shocked everyone."
He added: "It will take time for the space to become comfortable for the jumpers to pass through again. You have to wait a little."
These statements are made while Axios, citing knowledgeable sources, reported that J. Dee Vance, the Vice President of the United States of America, during the last two weeks, personally led the diplomatic efforts to establish a new ceasefire and resume the nuclear negotiations with Iran, and was in contact with Qatari and Pakistani mediators. The Bloomberg news agency also reported, citing its sources, that Tehran and Washington may have reached a breakthrough in negotiations to end the war, and Iran has expressed its desire to discuss some nuclear issues that it left out of the talks earlier.
