Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has claimed that Tehran has “no reason to come back to diplomacy” with the United States, citing a US military attack that occurred while negotiations were underway in 2025.
He added, however, that Iran “shouldn’t miss any chance for peace.”
Speaking in an interview on Sunday, Araghchi said that eight months after talks began in 2025, “in the middle of negotiations, the US attacked us.”
The comments come amid ongoing tensions and recent US rejection of an Iranian proposal.
The statement refers to the June 2025 period when indirect nuclear negotiations between Washington and Tehran were taking place. Israel launched strikes on Iranian targets on June 13, 2025, followed by US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities later that month.
Iran suspended the talks in response, viewing the military action as a violation of the diplomatic process.
Those events formed part of what became known as the Twelve-Day War.
Araghchi has repeatedly stated in recent months that Iran remains open to fair negotiations but insists the United States must first rebuild trust and end what Tehran calls a policy of intimidation and threats.
