Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has nominated Abbas Araghchi, a seasoned diplomat and former nuclear negotiator, as the country's new foreign minister. The nomination was announced by the state news agency ISNA and requires approval from the Iranian parliament. Araghchi, who has previously served as Iran's ambassador to Turkey and Japan, played a key role in nuclear negotiations. Alongside Araghchi's nomination, President Pezeshkian has proposed a woman to head the housing ministry, signaling a potentially reformist direction for his cabinet. Parliamentary commissions are set to review the proposed ministers' plans, marking a significant step in Iran's political landscape.
