Iran said on Saturday that the nuclear issue was not part of an initial framework it was drafting to end the war with the United States, reports AFP.

“At this stage, we will not discuss the details of the nuclear issue… we have decided to prioritise an urgent issue for all of us: ending the war on all fronts including Lebanon,” foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei told state television.

He added that the nuclear file will be “subject to separate discussions” at a later stage.
