Iran denies any meeting with US next week
27/6/2025 6:23
Iran currently has no plan to
meet with the United States, Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said
on Thursday in an interview on state TV, contradicting U.S.
President Donald Trump's statement that Washington planned to
have talks with Iran next week.
The Iranian foreign minister said Tehran was assessing
whether talks with the U.S. were in its interest, following five
previous rounds of negotiations that were cut short by Israel
and the U.S. attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities.
The U.S. and Israel said the strikes were meant to curb
Iran’s ability to create nuclear weapons, while Iran says its
nuclear programme is solely geared toward civilian use.
Araqchi said the damages to nuclear sites “were not little”
and that relevant authorities were figuring out the new
realities of Iran’s nuclear programme, which he said would
inform Iran’s future diplomatic stance.
