Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Thursday that Tehran has not made any decision to begin new nuclear talks with the United States, dismissing recent claims by President Donald Trump about a planned meeting.
Speaking on Iranian state television, Araghchi stressed that no fresh negotiations are scheduled, adding that Tehran remains skeptical of Washington’s intentions following the recent conflict with Israel.
“In the recent negotiations, they tried to lure us into giving up the rights of our nation,” he said, referring to U.S. support for Israel’s military strikes on Iran.
The foreign minister accused Washington of betraying diplomacy by supporting Israeli attacks and later launching its own airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. “Their statements are full of contradictions,” Araghchi said, dismissing Trump’s claim of a planned meeting next week.
He added that while there are ongoing diplomatic contacts with other countries, no indirect talks with the U.S. are on the agenda.
The remarks come days after a U.S.-brokered ceasefire ended a 12-day conflict that began on 13 June, when Israel launched airstrikes on Iranian targets. According to Iran’s Health Ministry, the attacks killed at least 606 people and injured more than 5,300. Iran’s retaliatory missile and drone strikes on Israel killed 29 people and wounded more than 3,400, based on figures from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
