From nuclear negotiator to foreign minister: Who is Seyed Abbas Araghchi, the voice of Iran?

Araghchi is currently the most visible diplomatic voice of Tehran. Since becoming Irans foreign minister in 2024, he has taken charge of explaining Irans strategy to the world while navigating one of the most dangerous Middle East crises in decades. His role goes far beyond routine diplomacy. He speaks for Iran on nuclear policy, coordinates international alliances, and frames Tehrans response to Israeli and US military pressure. Seyed Abbas Araghchi has spent more than three decades inside Irans foreign policy establishment. Born in Tehran in December 1962, he gradually built a reputation as one of Irans most disciplined diplomats. Today he serves as Irans foreign minister, representing Tehran on the global stage during a period of heightened conflict and international scrutiny.
