Iran says it expects a framework for negotiations with the United States will be ready in the coming days, as US President Donald Trump threatens military action against Tehran.
“Countries of the region are acting as mediators in the exchange of messages,” foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei says, without giving details on the content of any prospective negotiations.
“Several points have been addressed and we are examining and finalizing the details of each stage in the diplomatic process, which we hope to conclude in the coming days. This concerns the method and framework,” the spokesman says.
