Abbas Araghchi continues to serve as Iran's foreign minister and participates actively in international diplomacy, including bilateral meetings on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York and discussions on reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Recent reporting shows him engaging counterparts from Russia, the UK, Ukraine, Switzerland, and others through September 25, 2026, with no verified indications of domestic legal action or detention proceedings. Trader consensus at 99.5% for no arrest by September 28 reflects this established public role and the absence of supporting developments in Iranian political or security channels. A narrow window remains for unforeseen internal shifts, such as sudden parliamentary or IRGC moves, though structural barriers and the short timeline make rapid escalation improbable.
