Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi remains in office amid ongoing parliamentary pressure from hardline lawmakers who filed an impeachment motion in early October 2026. The motion centers on his September meetings with U.S. officials during the UN General Assembly, which critics claim lacked prior authorization from Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei or full coordination with the Supreme National Security Council. Araghchi has defended the talks as authorized diplomacy tied to proposals for ending hostilities and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Parliament has not yet scheduled a vote, and Araghchi continues active diplomatic engagement, including recent calls with regional counterparts. Cabinet instability elsewhere, such as the oil minister’s resignation, highlights factional tensions within the Pezeshkian government during the post-conflict period.
