Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has sharply criticised U.S. President Donald Trump, accusing Washington of undermining diplomacy amid the ongoing conflict.
Araghchi said Iran sees “no reason” to negotiate with the United States, adding that talks were ongoing when Washington launched attacks, effectively ending diplomatic efforts.
He also dismissed reports of recent contact with U.S. officials, stating that his last communication with Washington came before the outbreak of the current war.
Meanwhile, President Trump has claimed that Iran “badly wants a deal” with the United States, though he has indicated he is not ready to negotiate under current terms.
The conflicting statements highlight deep divisions between both sides, as military escalation continues and diplomatic channels remain uncertain.
