Certain groups try to derail Iran-US talks  		
  	  	    		  			  			TABNAK, Apr. 23 -Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has denounced certain Special Interest groups for attempting to derail the ongoing diplomatic efforts between Tehran and Washington by promoting “maximalist demands” and smearing negotiators.  		
   	       	

In a post published on his official X account on Tuesday, the top diplomat emphasized that these groups were laboring to manipulate the course of diplomacy and goad the US administration into making excessive demands.
Araghchi's remarks were made after cancellation of his scheduled keynote address at the Carnegie International Nuclear Policy Conference.
The cancellation followed, what turned out to be, an "orchestrated pressure" campaign from "Israeli-affiliated hawkish elements" and officials from administrations of former US presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama.
