'Talks with US Meaningless’ - Iran President

Pezeshkian said repeated attacks after talks have made future negotiations impossible, while Iran reviews a U.S. counterproposal and tensions rise over the Strait of Hormuz.

  • On Monday, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian declared negotiations with the United States "meaningless," accusing Washington of using diplomatic talks as a pretext to prepare for further attacks during a meeting with Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan in Tehran.
  • Pezeshkian claimed Iran has faced three attacks following previous diplomatic engagements, asserting that Washington's goal is to overthrow the Islamic Republic rather than seek dialogue. He argued that "negotiating with an enemy that assassinates, sanctions, pressures and threatens every day, and breaks its promises, makes no sense."
  • "Whenever international inspectors have visited Iran, it has led to the identification of the country's nuclear sites and scientists. Subsequently, those facilities have been targeted in bombings, and the scientists have been killed in assassinations," Pezeshkian said, insisting Tehran has demonstrated peaceful nuclear intent.
  • Tensions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz escalated over the weekend as the UKMTO reported a tanker strike on Sunday, while Iranian forces forced another vessel to turn back on Monday after issuing threats.
  • Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi rejected military solutions or new sanctions on Sunday, stating that "only negotiations based on justice and fairness could end the conflict." He warned Tehran would strengthen its defense if attacks resumed amid review of a U.S. counterproposal.
