US special envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi have held multiple phone conversations since the Iran-Israel conflict erupted last week, aiming to find a diplomatic solution to the crisis, Reuters reported on Thursday.
Citing three unnamed diplomats, the report said Araghchi told Witkoff that Tehran would not return to negotiations unless Israel halted its attacks on the Islamic Republic.
The talks also touched on a US proposal from late May to create a regional uranium enrichment consortium outside Iran, which Tehran has rejected.
