“Russia is hosting Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in St. Petersburg for talks on a possible new round of negotiations with the US, while positioning itself as a mediator.”
CORROBORATED
Multiple web search results report that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi met with Russian officials, including President Putin and Foreign Minister Lavrov, in St. Petersburg. The discussions were related to Iran's conflict with the US. While the claim specifies talks on a 'possible new round of negotiations with the US,' the evidence confirms the meeting in St. Petersburg regarding the conflict with the US, positioning Russia as a meeting ground.
