Speaking at a press conference in Tehran, Baghaei noted that indirect discussions between Iran and the U.S. have taken place, especially over the past two months, with various countries, mainly regional states, trying to facilitate the process using their capabilities.

“Iran always appreciates all countries that act responsibly and strive to maintain regional stability,” he said.
