Iran says it may return to diplomacy when 'reasonable conditions exist'

Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei acknowledges the ceasefire extension in comments reported today by Iranian state television.

Baghaei does not specifically say Tehran is ready to attend a new round of talks with the United States in Islamabad.

“Diplomacy is a tool for securing national interests and security, and whenever we reach the conclusion that the necessary and reasonable conditions exist to use this tool to achieve national interests and to consolidate the achievements of the Iranian nation in thwarting the enemies’ malicious objectives, we will take action,” he reportedly says.
