Iran Rejects Nuclear Talks with U.S. Following Israeli Strikes

Iran has declared negotiations with the United States over its nuclear program "meaningless" after Israel launched its largest-ever military strike against Iranian targets. Tehran accused Washington of enabling the attack, stating that the U.S. cannot claim to seek diplomacy while allowing Israel to target Iranian territory.

The sixth round of U.S.-Iran nuclear talks was scheduled to take place in Oman on Sunday, but the recent escalation has cast doubt on whether the discussions will proceed. Iran maintains that its uranium enrichment program is solely for civilian purposes, rejecting Israeli claims that it is secretly developing nuclear weapons.

With tensions rising, the future of nuclear diplomacy between Iran and the U.S. remains uncertain. Observers fear that the latest developments could further destabilize the region and complicate efforts to reach a peaceful resolution.
