BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 18. We have one
official channel between Iran and the United States, namely the
U.S. Interests Section in Tehran, which is handled by the Swiss
Embassy. We also have an Interests Section in Washington, which is
handled by Pakistan, spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry
Esmaeil Baghaei said, Trend reports.
"Apparently, every week we need to make a point about the
existing channels between Iran and the United States, and that is
that we have one official channel between Iran and the United
States, namely the U.S. Interests Section in Tehran, which is
handled by the Swiss Embassy. We also have an Interests Section in
Washington, which is handled by Pakistan. In addition to this
official channel, formal messages between Iran and the United
States can be exchanged through it.
Other parties have also always tried to act as intermediaries
between Iran and the United States, both countries in the region
and outside the region. Naturally, under circumstances such as
those we have faced in recent weeks, these countries also make use
of their good offices and make efforts. The so-called
“Witkoff–Araghchi” channel also remains in place. Whenever
necessary, this channel is used as well," Baghaei said.
