RIYADH / TEHRAN (AP), Apr 13: Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi held a phone conversation with his Saudi counterpart Faisal bin Farhan to discuss recent negotiations between Iran and the United States held in Islamabad, Iranian semi-official media reported.

The discussions focused on the outcome of the high-level talks, which failed to produce an agreement despite intensive negotiations aimed at easing regional tensions.
