Iran’s foreign minister said his country responded to a letter from US President Donald Trump on the prospect of new talks over Tehran’s nuclear program, without giving detail on the contents.

Abbas Araghchi told the state-run Islamic Republic News Agency that the reply was sent Wednesday via Oman, a longtime mediator between Iran and the US, two weeks after a top diplomat from the United Arab Emirates handed Trump’s letter to officials in Tehran.
