Araghchi was scheduled to deliver a virtual address at the conference, which will bring together politicians, diplomats, and nuclear experts from around the world to discuss critical challenges in nuclear nonproliferation, arms control, disarmament, deterrence, energy, and security.
Iran's Permanent Mission to the United Nations confirmed in a statement that Araghchi’s speech has been canceled.
According to the mission, the cancellation occurred after the conference organizers decided to change the format of the Iranian foreign minister’s speech to a debate.
Expressing regret over the matter, the mission said that the full text of the now-canceled speech will be made available to the news media.
