Iran announces complete abandonment of negotiations with the US
The Secretary of Iran's National Security Council said that Tehran does not intend to negotiate with the United States. According to him, Washington's current actions exclude the possibility of diplomatic dialogue.
The statement notes that Iran will focus on «appropriate measures» in response to recent developments in the region. No specific conditions under which the talks could resume were mentioned.
What it means
The refusal to negotiate indicates a further deterioration in relations between Tehran and Washington. Against the backdrop of mutual attacks and harsh rhetoric, this reduces the chances of a quick de-escalation through diplomacy.
Experts note that such statements often precede a new round of confrontation or increased military activity.
Context.
Tensions between the United States and Iran have risen sharply after a series of strikes on Iranian targets and Tehran's threats. The international community is calling on the parties to exercise restraint, fearing that the conflict could spread to the entire Middle East.
The situation remains tense and is changing rapidly.
