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.
