The talks were expected to be the sixth round of negotiations focused on Iran’s nuclear program and regional de-escalation. However, tensions surged after Israel’s Operation Rising Lion and Iran’s large-scale retaliation under True Promise 3.
Earlier today, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi condemned the Israeli attacks on nuclear and military sites as a US-supported offensive, arguing that negotiations under such conditions were “unjustifiable.”
