Iran's foreign ministry spokesman says talks with US ongoing

The Iranian foreign ministry spokesman said that they are continuing to exchange message with the US, but accused Washington of undermining diplomacy efforts.

"We are exchanging messages, but our priority now is defending Iran’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and people," Esmaeil Baqaei told Austria’s ORF television.

Baqaei said the US destroyed and violated conditions that are vital for negotiations, describing its recent attacks on Iran as an "illegal war".
