Iran Withdraws From Nuclear Talks With United States After Israeli Strikes

Tehran, June 14 (IANS) Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei on Saturday announced that nuclear talks with the United States are now "meaningless" following Israel's military strikes.

Addressing a media conference in Tehran, Baghaei accused the US of being involved in the aggression, stating that it is not clear what decision Iran will make regarding the next round of indirect talks with the US on the nuclear deal. The upcoming talks are scheduled for Sunday in Muscat, Oman.

"The other side (the US) acted in a way that makes dialogue meaningless. You cannot claim to negotiate and at the same time divide work by allowing Israel to target Iran's territory," Iran's semi-official Mehr News Agency quoted the spokesman as saying.
