Washington/Tehran, July 20 -- Iran today said that it remained in contact with Washington and the two continued to maintain diplomatic exchanges via mediators despite the war between the two of them only further intensifying of late.
"We have been informed by mediators, we have received messages - without going into details - but the main point is that the diplomatic apparatus has been active in recent days and ideas have been conveyed to us by certain mediators," Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei told a press briefing in Tehran.
His comments came a day after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Tehran had continued signalling its willingness to negotiate despite nearly two weeks of escalating strikes by both sides.
