Iran welcomed diplomatic efforts to revive its 2015 nuclear pact with major powers on Wednesday, a day after the European Union's top diplomat proposed a new text to restore the agreement, Qazet.az reports.

"Iran welcomes the continuation of diplomacy and negotiations," Iranian state media quoted Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian as telling EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell by telephone.

"The United States always states that it wants an agreement, so this approach should be seen in the agreement and in practice," Amirabdollahian added. It was not immediately clear what he meant.
