EU's Kallas spoke with Iran's foreign minister on Sunday, official says

European Union ​foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas ‌held a phone call with Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi on Sunday, ​an EU official told ​Reuters.

Kallas also held separate calls with ⁠counterparts from Turkey, Qatar and ​South Korea "on the war in the ​Middle East, attacks on energy infrastructure, and the urgent need to reopen the ​Strait of Hormuz," the official ​said.
