Iran has denied reports that it is preparing to resume nuclear negotiations with the United States following the conclusion of a 12-day conflict with Israel. Tehran also accused Washington of overstating the effects of recent U.S. military strikes.
The Iranian foreign ministry stated unequivocally that no agreement has been made to restart nuclear talks with the U.S., adding that any potential future discussions would be more challenging in light of the recent attacks.
On Wednesday, President Trump had claimed the U.S. and Iran were set to meet “next week,” calling the Pentagon’s recent strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities a success. However, the White House softened that position on Thursday.
Speaking on Iranian state television, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi rejected suggestions of a diplomatic breakthrough, emphasizing that the damage to Iran’s nuclear sites was “not little” and that officials were reassessing the current state of the program.
Araghchi also criticized the United States for what he described as a lack of genuine intent to negotiate. He pointed to previously scheduled talks in Oman—planned before the Israeli attacks—as evidence that Washington was not acting in good faith.
