Tehran: UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres’ personal envoy Jean Arnault met Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi in Tehran on Thursday as part of UN efforts to bring about an end to the Iran war, the UN said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“He heard views on the way forward and reiterated the secretary-general’s firm commitment to making every possible effort to support a peaceful settlement of this conflict,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dujarric said Arnault would continue his regional tour with several visits in the Middle East “aimed at supporting the ongoing efforts to achieve a comprehensive and durable resolution to this conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“He said Arnault’s meeting with the deputy minister had been “substantive, and he hopes to continue his consultations.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We expect him to stay a little bit longer in Tehran, but obviously, things shift quite quickly,” Dujarric said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
