TEHRAN (Web Desk) - Australia has called on the United States and Iran to return to the negotiation table, urging both sides to maintain a ceasefire and resume dialogue.
The Australian Foreign Minister said that the failure of talks to conclude with an agreement is disappointing and stressed the need for a swift and lasting solution to the conflict.
She added that any further escalation of tensions could negatively impact the global economy.
On the other hand, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said in a statement that agreement has been reached on most of the issues, while differences still remain on two to three points.

He added that no one should expect a final agreement in a single round of talks, as such expectations were never realistic.
Esmail Baghaei further stated that consultations will continue with Iran, Pakistan, and other friendly countries.
He noted that one of the challenges in the negotiations has been the complexity of the issues and evolving circumstances, with some new topics also included in the discussions.
He emphasized that Iran will continue its diplomatic efforts to secure its rights and interests on the international stage.
