Iran declares nuclear talk dead after Israeli ‘satanic’ airstrikes

Iran has described its nuclear talks with the United States as “meaningless” following Israel’s massive military assault on Iranian soil.

Tehran made this announcement Friday, June 13, 2025, after the Israeli military carried out its largest-ever strike against Iran, sparking global alarm.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry declared that Washington’s silence and perceived approval of Israel’s action ended the need for negotiations.

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei, speaking to Tasnim News, said the U.S. could not claim dialogue while aiding Israeli aggression.

“You cannot claim to negotiate and at the same time support Zionist attacks on our territory,” Baghaei told the Iranian press.

He accused Washington of collusion with Israel, claiming the attack wouldn’t have happened without U.S. authorization and intelligence sharing.

Iran alleged that Israel manipulated the diplomatic process and derailed talks meant to resolve nuclear disputes through peaceful dialogue.

“The other side acted in a way that makes dialogue meaningless,” Baghaei stated, expressing Tehran’s official stance.

He insisted that Iran would not resume discussions unless Washington stopped backing Israeli aggression and respected Iran’s sovereignty.

Tensions soared after Israel launched airstrikes on key Iranian sites, saying they aimed to disrupt Tehran’s nuclear ambitions permanently.

The United Nations Security Council met urgently on Friday to address the escalation and rising fears of regional war.

Iran told the UN that Washington was complicit in the assault, a charge the U.S. strongly denied in front of the international body.

A U.S. representative at the council warned Iran that it should still consider returning to the negotiating table.

“It would be wise to negotiate over your nuclear program,” the American envoy told Tehran during the tense session.

Iran’s sixth round of nuclear talks with the U.S. was scheduled for Sunday in Muscat but now hangs in uncertainty.

Officials have not confirmed whether the Muscat meeting will proceed following Israel’s attack and Iran’s sharp response.

President Donald Trump told Reuters that he and his advisers were aware of Israel’s plans ahead of the operation.

Despite the timing of the attack, Trump said there remained a possibility for a future deal with Tehran.

Iran has consistently claimed its uranium enrichment program serves only civilian purposes, not weapon development as Israel claims.

Tehran rejected Israeli allegations, branding them as politically motivated and devoid of technical evidence or international support.

With tensions escalating, both regional and global powers now fear a broader conflict could erupt in the Middle East.

Iran’s strong reaction signals a growing divide, putting the fate of future nuclear diplomacy in grave jeopardy.
