Iran's FM: No Grounds for Talks with US

Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araqchi once again stressed Tehran's willingness to settle the issues through diplomacy, but stated that no positive ground currently exists for negotiations or interaction with the United States.
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the cabinet session on Wednesday, Araqchi ruled out the possibility of renewed talks between Tehran and Washington in the current circumstances.He stressed that the current situation is not "suitable" for holding negotiation with the United States due to Washington's policies.
Tehran and Washington had held five rounds of indirect talks on Iran’s nuclear program before Israel unleashed a war on the Islamic Republic. Mediated by Oman, the 6th round of talks was planned to be held in Muscat, but was called off due to the Israeli onslaught.Instead of condemning the terror act, the US attacked three Iranian nuclear facilities—an action which was described by Tehran as betrayal to diplomacy.
The Iranian foreign minister stressed that Tehran has never left the negotiating table. "We are always ready for talks based on respect and mutual interests, but the US government does not believe in such a policy at the moment," he told reporters.#Iran#US
