Why it matters:
The call reflects Iran's diplomatic efforts to resolve nuclear and security. It also proves Iran's readiness to continue talks with European countries to reduce tensions and create a positive atmosphere in indirect talks with the U.S.
The big picture:
In the past years, Iran and Western countries, especially the United States and three European countries (Germany, France, and the United Kingdom), have held talks on Iran's nuclear program, which have reached a deadlock due to serious differences. In the call, Araghchi referred to the history of Iran's talks and efforts for diplomacy.
What they're saying:
Referring to Iran's responsible approach in choosing the path of diplomacy, Araghchi emphasized that to reach an agreement, the other side must avoid unrealistic and illogical positions.
Kallas also announced Europe's readiness to enter into political talks with Iran and emphasized the necessity of examining the preparations for these talks.
