Iran’s Stance on Negotiations
Iran has made its position clear regarding the EU’s recent call for negotiations. Iranian official Araghchi stated that Iran cannot return to something it never left. He emphasized that the ongoing tensions have hindered diplomatic discussions between Tehran and Washington. Recent US strikes have further complicated the situation, disrupting both Tehran-US and Iran-EU talks.
Araghchi pointed out that Israel’s actions have severely impacted diplomatic efforts. The recent strikes on June 13 by the US serve as another example of how external factors derail potential negotiations. Iran insists that these strikes only deepen the rift and make it challenging to engage in meaningful discussions. The situation remains tense as diplomatic channels seem to be shutting down amidst escalating conflicts.
