Iran says nuclear talks with U.S. ’meaningless’ after Israeli strikes
Further nuclear negotiations with the United States now, after Israel's strikes, are pointless.
According to Censor.NET, this was stated by Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei, quoted by Bloomberg.
As a reminder, the United States and Iran planned to resume negotiations in Oman on June 15.
Although Bagaei's statements cast doubt on the possibility of their continuation, he did not speak of their cancellation.
The other side has done something that makes the dialog meaningless," the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman said.
Israel's strikes on Iran
On the night of June 13, Israel launched a series of strikes on Iranian targets. There were explosions in Tehran, and air defense systems were operating.
Israel called the operation "Lion's Nation", in which Israeli aircraft attacked dozens of targets in Iran related to the nuclear program and other military facilities.
After that, Israel declared a state of emergency in the country due to the threat of Tehran's retaliatory strikes.
Donald Trump said that the United States would defend itself and Israel in the event of a response from Iran.
It is known that Israel destroyed an important nuclear facility in Iran.
Axios wrote that Israel had been preparing the attack on Iran, which it carried out on the night of June 13, for eight months. The preparations were carried out in complete secrecy.
Israeli media reported that Iranian high-ranking official Amir-Ali Hajizadeh was killed in Israeli air strikes on the command center on the night of June 13.
Later, on the evening of June 13, Israel conducted two strikes on Iran's underground uranium enrichment plant in Fordow. The IDF could also attack one of the residences of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Iran's retaliatory strikes
As a reminder, Iran attacked Israel with dozens of ballistic and cruise missiles in response to air strikes on the night of June 13. Explosions were heard in Tel Aviv.
At first, 35 people were reported injured.
