DUBAI (Reuters) – Iran welcomes diplomatic efforts to resolve its nuclear dispute with world powers, state media quoted Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian as saying on Wednesday, a day after the EU’s top diplomat proposed a new draft text to revive a 2015 nuclear deal with Tehran.
“Iran welcomes the continuation of diplomacy and negotiations,” Amirabdollahian told the European Union’s Josep Borrell by telephone, adding that the United States should now show that it also seeks a deal.
“The United States always states that it wants an agreement, so this approach should be seen in the agreement and in practice,” he said.
