UNITED NATIONS, January 30 (Xinhua) — UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Thursday called for dialogue on the Iranian nuclear issue to avoid a catastrophic crisis.

“We believe it is important that there be a dialogue that allows us to reach an agreement on, in particular, the nuclear issue, and so that we can avoid a crisis that could have devastating consequences in the region,” he said at a press conference marking the beginning of the year.

"I believe it is absolutely essential for dialogue to prevail. I urge dialogue to benefit from the mediation proposals that have been made," said A. Guterres.

“We don’t want to see nuclear weapons, and I believe the Iranians are telling us that they don’t want to have them either, so if that’s the case, then all the conditions are there for serious negotiations, and I call on the parties to engage in serious negotiations to avoid a confrontation that would be a tragedy,” he emphasized. –0–

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday that he had talks with Iranian leaders and plans to continue them.

"There have been, and I plan to have them," Trump said when asked if he had had any conversations with Iran in the past few days. He did not specify who he had spoken to.

“We have a lot of very large, very powerful ships sailing to Iran right now, and it would be great if we didn’t have to use them,” the White House chief added.

"I told them two things. First, nothing nuclear. And second, stop killing protesters," Trump said.

As a reminder, on Wednesday he announced that a "massive armada" led by the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln was heading to Iran, exceeding the size of the group of ships sent to Venezuela. The president warned that Tehran has little time left to reach an agreement with Washington.
