The United States and Iran exchange accusations: Washington claims Iran is developing a nuclear program, while Iran insists its nuclear activities are solely for peaceful purposes. Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister stated that the current U.S. approach to negotiations indicates no intention of fair and equal talks, especially after attempts to revive dialogue have failed following Israel’s attack on Iran in June, which was soon followed by U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites.
Despite five rounds of indirect negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program—held before the 12-day conflict—significant hurdles remain, such as Iran’s uranium enrichment activities, which the U.S. insists Iran must halt. Abbas Araqchi commented at a Tehran conference titled “International Law Under Assault,” saying, “The U.S. can’t expect to gain what it couldn’t win through war by simply negotiating.” He emphasized Iran’s willingness to engage in diplomacy, but not negotiations that are essentially dictations.
At the same conference, Deputy Foreign Minister Saeed Khatibzadeh criticized Washington, accusing it of pursuing its wartime objectives under the guise of negotiation. The ongoing dispute continues to fuel tensions between the two nations and their allies.
