WANA (Nov 05) – The Foreign Minister stated that if any negotiations with the United States were to take place, they would be limited solely to the nuclear issue.

 

Abbas Araghchi, speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the cabinet meeting in response to a question about Iran-Oman talks, said: “These negotiations are held every six months in Tehran and Muscat.”

 

He added: “The United States has always raised missile and regional issues during talks, and our position has always been clear. If there are to be any negotiations, they will only concern the nuclear file.”

 

Iran and the United States’ nuclear talks, halted after five rounds of negotiations as the Israeli regime attacked Iran on June 13, 2025. Israel launched a military attack targeting areas in Tehran and other cities, including the country’s nuclear facilities. This act killed several Iranian scientists, military personnel, and civilians. This action did not go unpunished, as Iran’s Supreme Leader stated, and the Israeli regime faced severe retaliatory strikes.

 

In the continuation of this aggression, the United States also joined Israel’s war against Iran by launching direct attacks early Sunday (June 22) on Iran’s nuclear sites in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. This aggression also faced a strong response, in which Iran struck the U.S. Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. This base is the headquarters of the U.S. Air Force and its largest strategic asset in West Asia.

 

Finally, on June 24, the U.S. President announced a ceasefire agreement between Iran and the Israeli regime. The Islamic Republic of Iran, while stressing that it did not start the war, declared that if the Israeli regime halts its illegal aggression, Iran also has no intention of continuing its retaliatory actions.
