Iran denies any meeting with US next week

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.
