Iran’s top diplomat says communication channels with the United States are still open, a week after Donald Trump was elected president.

“The communication channels between us and the Americans still exist,” Abbas Araghchi says on the sidelines of a weekly cabinet meeting.

“We have differences with the Americans, which are sometimes very fundamental and central and may not be resolved, but we must manage them to reduce their costs and decrease the tensions,” he adds.
