Iran has stated that the resumption of nuclear negotiations with the United States has lost its meaning after the recent missile strikes carried out by the Israeli army
This situation once again highlights the growing tension in the region and complicates the search for a diplomatic compromise between the parties, according to officials in Tehran. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Bagheri described the prospects for restarting negotiations in the Omani city of Muscat, which were scheduled for Sunday, June 15, as highly doubtful in a conversation with Bloomberg agency. He did not explicitly deny the possibility of their cancellation but hinted that the actions of "the other side" had rendered the dialogue process a waste of time. According to Bagheri, "the other side has taken steps that make any dialogue pointless." The situation is escalating amid serious military incidents. The night of June 13 was marked by an Israeli attack on facilities in Iran related to its nuclear program. Tel Aviv officially explained this move as a preventative measure — an attempt to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Less than 24 hours later, in response, Iranian forces launched rockets at Israeli positions, marking another sharp escalation in the regional conflict. The international community is calling for restraint and diplomatic resolution between Iran and Israel. Representatives of the European Union, including France, emphasized the importance of finding a peaceful solution and avoiding further escalation of violence. Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump, reacting to the new developments, called on Iran to return to the negotiated nuclear agreement, stressing that timely action is crucial; otherwise, the consequences could be irreversible. Currently, the situation remains open regarding the possibility of further escalation or the pursuit of diplomatic avenues. At the same time, the tense situation in the region demonstrates that none of the players are willing to lower the stakes in this very delicate and dangerous game. Diplomatic efforts continue, but real progress still seems out of reach amid serious military escalations and sharp political statements.
