Iran has condemned the U.S.-Iran nuclear negotiations as “meaningless” after Israel’s largest strike on Iranian targets, accusing Washington of backing the attack. The planned sixth round of talks faces uncertainty amid escalating tensions.
Iran labelled the ongoing nuclear dialogue with the United States “meaningless” following Israel’s biggest military strike on its territory, accusing Washington of supporting the assault. Foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said the U.S. undermined the talks by permitting Israel’s operation.
Baghaei was quoted by the semi-official Tasnim news agency stating, “You cannot claim to negotiate and at the same time divide work by allowing the Zionist regime to target Iran’s territory.” He added that Israel “succeeded in influencing” the diplomatic process and that the attack would not have occurred without U.S. approval.
The U.S. denied any involvement in the Israeli strike and urged Iran to negotiate constructively. Speaking at the United Nations Security Council, Washington called on Tehran to engage in good faith discussions over its nuclear programme.
The sixth round of nuclear talks, scheduled to take place on Sunday in Muscat, now faces doubt due to rising tensions. Iran insists its uranium enrichment is solely for civilian purposes, rejecting Israeli allegations of nuclear weapons development.
U.S. President Donald Trump told Reuters that despite being aware of the Israeli strikes, his administration still believed there was room for a diplomatic agreement.
