/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Problems between Iran and U.S. can’t be resolved
through a third country’s mediation, said a spokesman for the Iranian
Foreign Ministry.
"These problems are too deep to be resolved with assistance of any
third state. To start a dialogue, the U.S. should first of all change
its policy toward Iran," Hassan Gashgavi said, iran.ru reports with
reference to Mehr-news.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said his country could
mediate tensions between the United States and Iran.
"We are ready to mediate and we can be useful. Ankara is concerned
about the Iran-U.S. relations and stands for resolution of problems
through diplomatic talks. War is not a solution," he said.
