New Delhi, May 13: Norway’s Deputy Foreign Minister Andreas Kravik visited Tehran on Tuesday. In the evening, he met with Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif. The discussions focused on mutual interests and strategic cooperation.
According to the official ‘X’ account of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s government, Kravik’s visit aimed to strengthen ties between the two nations amidst ongoing geopolitical tensions. Iran is steadfast in defending its interests while also seeking to enhance relationships with other countries.
Additionally, it was shared that Foreign Minister Zarif is scheduled to visit India soon. He will attend the BRICS Foreign Ministers’ meeting in New Delhi. During this visit, Zarif hopes to engage with Indian Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar and other counterparts to discuss regional stability, multilateral cooperation, and economic resilience.
As Zarif prepares for his trip to India, U.S. President Donald Trump is also planning a visit to China. These diplomatic movements come at a time when the ceasefire between the two nations is under threat.
Just a day prior, President Trump dismissed Iran’s new nuclear proposal as “a piece of garbage.” He stated that Tehran’s latest response in the nuclear talks was “completely unacceptable” and described it as a foolish proposal.
Trump noted that Iran had initially agreed to allow the removal of “nuclear dust” from recently damaged enrichment facilities due to U.S. military strikes, but later changed its stance. He emphasized that the U.S. position remains unchanged: Iran must not possess nuclear weapons, as the U.S. aims to serve global interests.
He remarked that the ceasefire is in a precarious state, likening it to a doctor stating that a patient has only a one percent chance of survival.
