Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian spoke with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres about the Vienna nuclear talks, and the situation in Yemen and Afghanistan.

In the telephone conversation on Friday, Amir-Abdollahian reiterated that Iran is determined to reach a “good nuclear agreement” with the world powers in the shortest time possible.

"The negotiation process is on a positive track and the Islamic Republic has the serious will to reach a good agreement as soon as possible", he said.

He reiterated Tehran’s position that the United States is not trustworthy and Tehran needs verifications and guarantees for sanctions removal in the process of the negotiations to revive the 2015 nuclear deal.

Guterres hailed the progress in the talks and said the UN has always supported the nuclear agreement and international peace.

Amir-Abdollahian stressed the need for global attention to the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan, saying, "Iran has received about 800,000 new refugees from Afghanistan in the past few months."

He also called for an inclusive government in Afghanistan and added that that Iran is ready to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian and financial aid to the refugees.

On Yemen, Amir-Abdollahian said the Islamic Republic backs a political solution to end the war and called on the UN secretary-general to intervene and stop the bombings in populated civilian areas.

Iranian-backed Houthi rebels have so far rejected UN calls for a ceasefire.
