Saeed Khatibzadeh made the remarks at his weekly press briefing in Tehran.
About proposal made by US secretary of state for multilateral mechanism with participation of Iran for Afghan peace talks, Khatibzadeh said Iran has had no direct or indirect contacts with United States about issues related to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) or the issues non-related to the deal.
In February, Khatibzadeh had told reporters about consultations with Taliban leaders in Tehran and the reason why the consultations could not be effective to de-escalate tensions in Afghanistan, making clear that the visit was made upon Afghan Government's permission aiming to help narrow the gap in intra-Afghan talks.
