Iran says communication channels with US 'still exist' 

TEHRAN, Nov 13: Iran's top diplomat said Wednesday that communication channels with the United States were still open, a week after Donald Trump was elected president.

"The communication channels between us and the Americans still exist," Abbas Araghchi said on the sidelines of a weekly cabinet meeting.

"We have differences with the Americans, which are sometimes very fundamental and central and may not be resolved, but we must manage them to reduce their costs and decrease the tensions," he added. 
Araghchi said last month that there was no ground for indirect nuclear talks with the United States.    —AFP
