“Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who spoke at a BRICS meeting in India, said that a deep mistrust between Iran and the US continues to hinder negotiations over the war.”
SINGLE SOURCE
While web search results confirm that Abbas Araghchi is the Foreign Minister and that he attended a BRICS foreign ministers' meeting in New Delhi, India, none of the provided evidence snippets actually contain the specific quote or statement regarding 'deep mistrust' hindering negotiations. The evidence confirms the context (the person, the role, and the event) but not the specific claim made by the person.
