Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and his Saudi counterpart, Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, during a telephone conversation discussed issues related to the ongoing diplomatic process between Iran and the US as well as the latest regional developments, reports Anadolu.

Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the two top diplomats exchanged views on regional issues and current diplomatic efforts during the conversation.

Earlier, the spokesman for the conversation ministry, Esmaeil Baqaei said talks with the US were still ongoing through Pakistani mediation.

Regional tensions have escalated since the US and Israel launched strikes against Iran in February. Tehran retaliated with attacks targeting Israel as well as US allies in the Persian Gulf, along with closing the Strait of Hormuz.

A cease-fire took effect on April 8 through Pakistani mediation, but talks in Islamabad failed to produce a lasting agreement. US President Donald Trump later extended the ceasefire indefinitely.
