Iran held direct talks with US amid intensifying conflict with Israel: Reuters

  • Since Israel began airstrikes against Iranian military sites on June 13, Iran and the U.S. have engaged in direct talks amid escalating conflict in the Middle East.
  • The negotiations are stalled due to Iran's nuclear program issues and ongoing Israeli strikes, with Iran refusing to reengage in discussions until Israel halts its military actions.
  • U.S. special representative Steve Witkoff and Iran’s top diplomat Abbas Araqchi held phone conversations that touched on a U.S. proposal from late May to establish a regional uranium enrichment partnership, which Iran has declined to accept.
  • The conflict has killed soldiers and civilians and damaged buildings; the U.S. has sent more forces to the region, raising concerns about broader war and oil market impacts.
  • The ongoing talks represent the most serious direct dialogue in years and suggest potential to lower tensions if Israel ceases airstrikes and diplomacy advances.
