The reopening of the Iranian embassy in the US and the American embassy in Tehran are not on the agenda for talks between the two countries, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham said.
“The two countries’ talks is [sic] solely about the nuclear issue and the issue [reopening of embassies] is not on the agenda of the two countries’ talks,” Press TV quoted Afkham as saying.
During an interview on US National Public Radio (NPR), US President Barack Obama did not rule out the possibility of reopening the American embassy in Tehran someday, however, he pointed out that US-Iranian relations would need to be resumed in steps.
Tehran and Washington broke their diplomatic ties in 1980.
