April 27 (Reuters) - ‌Iran's ​Foreign ​Minister Abbas Araqchi said ‌on Monday that Tehran ⁠was looking into U.S. ‌President Donald Trump's ‌request for negotiations, according to a ​post on the minister's Telegram ⁠account.

He told reporters in Russia ​that Trump requested negotiations because the U.S. ​has not ‌achieved any of its objectives.

Trump scrapped ⁠a visit to Islamabad by his ⁠envoys Steve Witkoff and ​Jared Kushner for talks on ending the conflict, ‌and said Iran could telephone if ‌it wanted ⁠to negotiate.
