Iran and the United States are negotiating the terms of restarting commercial flights between the two countries after a suspension of nearly 36 years, the Iranian Foreign Ministry confirmed Monday.
"The matter is currently being examined, and the result of the negotiations will be announced at the appropriate time," Foreign Ministry spokesman Jaber Ansari said.
Iranian Transportation Minister Abbas Ahmad Akhoundi and the country's civil air traffic authority are leading the talks on the Iranian side, the newspaper Shargh reported.
The U.S. and Iran have not had diplomatic relations for 36 years. After Rohani was elected in 2013, negotiations resumed between the two countries, largely focusing on Iran's nuclear program.
