Iran Rejects U.S. Negotiation Overtures Amid Ongoing Attacks

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Arakchi declared that Tehran will not enter negotiations while Israeli attacks continue, accusing the U.S. of complicity. Speaking ahead of a Geneva meeting with European officials, Arakchi said, “The U.S. is an accomplice to these crimes and we have nothing to talk about with them.” He emphasized that only nuclear and regional issues would be discussed and ruled out talks on Iran’s missile program. Arakchi also stated that Iran’s retaliatory strikes targeted military and economic sites only, not civilian areas.
