TEHRAN, Iran — Iran says it is open to indirect talks with the United States after US President Donald Trump issued an ultimatum for a new nuclear deal.

“The way is open for indirect negotiations,” Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says, dismissing the prospect of direct talks with Washington “until there is a change in the other side’s approach towards the Islamic Republic.”
