In a surprising twist amid rising global tensions, Iran has declared that dialogue with the U.S. over its nuclear program is "meaningless" after a powerful Israeli military strike on its territory. Iran’s Foreign Ministry contends that actions on the ground undermine any chance for genuine negotiation.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei told Tasnim News Agency, "The other side acted in a way that makes dialogue meaningless. You cannot negotiate while enabling attacks on Iran's territory." He also accused Washington of permitting the strike, further complicating the diplomatic scene.
With a sixth round of nuclear talks scheduled for Sunday in Muscat, the prospects for a constructive dialogue now seem uncertain. Even as U.S. representatives at the U.N. Security Council urged negotiations—and remarks by then-U.S. President Donald Trump noted foreknowledge of the attack—tensions continue to flare.
This dramatic turn of events feels like a blockbuster plot twist 🎬🔥. As the future of international nuclear dialogue hangs in the balance, one thing is clear: the road to peace just got a lot bumpier. Stay tuned for more updates on this unfolding story!
