Ambassador Rasoul Movahedian told the Financial Times newspaper that Iran had "showed our goodwill" by freeing the sailors.
"Now it is up to the British government to proceed in a positive way," he was quoted as saying on Saturday.
"We share in the British people's happiness and we believe it is the right time for the British government to affirm its willingness to establish sensible lines of communication with Iran," the ambassador was quoted as saying.
He said "the prime issue for Iran" was recognition from the West of its right to a nuclear power program.
