Iranian FM Says Talks, Message Exchanges with US Continue

(MENAFN) Iran has stated that communication channels with the United States remain open, with ongoing talks and indirect message exchanges still taking place between the two sides.

According to reports, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Sunday that discussions are still in progress and no firm conclusions should be drawn until concrete outcomes are reached.

“All that is being said now is speculation and should not be taken seriously,” Araghchi said, emphasizing that negotiations have not yet produced definitive results.

The comments come amid heightened tensions in the Middle East following months of escalation involving the United States and Israel. According to reports, hostilities intensified after strikes were launched against Iran in February, prompting retaliatory attacks by Tehran targeting Israeli territory as well as US-aligned interests in the Gulf region.

The situation was further complicated by disruptions to regional maritime routes, including the closure of the Strait of Hormuz during the height of the conflict.

A ceasefire was reportedly established on April 8 through mediation efforts involving Pakistan, although subsequent negotiations held in Islamabad did not result in a long-term agreement.

Since then, both sides have continued to exchange proposals and counterproposals in an effort to restart direct negotiations and reach a durable settlement to the ongoing crisis, according to reports.
