Iran Rejects US Talks: Broken Promises Fuel Distrust
Amid rising tensions, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi dismissed direct US nuclear negotiations as meaningless, citing contradictory US statements and threats of bombing. While rejecting direct talks, Iran maintains openness to indirect diplomacy, demanding negotiations on an equal footing. This follows President Trump’s letter proposing talks and subsequent threats of military action, prompting Iran’s Revolutionary Guard to declare readiness for war. Iran insists its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only, despite accusations from Western countries and its own advancements in fissile material.
