Diplomacy on Hold: Iran Demands Cessation of Aggression Before Talks
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi states that diplomatic discussions regarding the nuclear program are contingent on the cessation of hostilities by Israel.
Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, emphasized that diplomatic negotiations over Iran’s nuclear agenda would only commence once Israel halts its aggressions. Following a series of missile attacks exchanged between the two nations, Araghchi asserted Iran’s right to self-defense and maintained that its nuclear pursuits are peaceful, accusing Israel of violating international law.
In Geneva, Araghchi urged European diplomats to advocate for a diplomatic solution, but he remained firm that discussions could not progress under current conditions of conflict. Meanwhile, both the US and European nations are navigating the precarious situation, with President Trump issuing warnings to Iran while European leaders seek alternative pathways to peace.
Amid the conflict, Israel's military responds to Iranian missile attacks by striking various targets within Iran. Both sides report significant casualties and damage, escalating fears of a larger war.
As diplomatic efforts continue to falter, the international community watches closely, hoping for a resolution to the increasing violence in the region.
In this volatile landscape, the future of peace talks hangs in the balance, contingent upon the actions taken by both Israel and Iran.
