Iran declared on Friday that ongoing nuclear negotiations with the United States have become “meaningless” following 'Israel’s' largest-ever military strike against Iranian targets.

 

Tehran accused Washington of enabling the attack by supporting 'Israel’s' actions.

 

“The US has acted in a way that undermines the dialogue. You cannot claim to negotiate while allowing the Zionist regime to attack Iranian territory,” said Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei, as reported by the semi-official Tasnim news agency.

 

Baghaei further claimed that 'Israel' “influenced” the diplomatic process and suggested the 'Israeli' strike would not have been possible without US approval.

 

Earlier, Iran accused the US of complicity in the 'Israeli' attacks, allegations that Washington strongly denied. Speaking at the United Nations Security Council, US officials urged Tehran to continue negotiations, calling it “wise” to engage diplomatically over its nuclear program.

 

The sixth round of US-Iran nuclear talks was scheduled for Sunday in Muscat, Oman, but the impact of the recent 'Israeli' strike has cast doubt over whether the talks will proceed.

 

Iran insists its uranium enrichment is solely for peaceful civilian purposes, denying 'Israeli' claims that it is covertly pursuing nuclear weapons development.
