U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson hinted on Saturday that direct talks with Iran were a possibility, though he stressed that he would take with his Iranian counterpart “at the right time”.
“I’ve never shut off the phone to anyone that wants to talk or have a productive conversation,” Tillerson said of Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, speaking at a joint press conference in Riyadh with Saudi Arabian Foreign Adel al-Jubeir.
