No Nuclear Talks Scheduled But US, Iran Maintain Contact, Both Sides Say
IRAN, JUN 27 – Iran rejects US claims of imminent nuclear talks after a 12-day conflict with Israel, citing serious damage to nuclear sites and a new law halting cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog.
- On June 26, 2025, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated Iran has no plan to meet the United States or resume nuclear talks.
- This follows a 12-day conflict beginning with Israeli airstrikes and U.S. bombings of Iranian nuclear sites, which halted efforts to revive the nuclear deal.
- U.S. President Donald Trump claimed on June 21 that American B-2 bombers obliterated key Iranian facilities including the underground Fordo site.
- Iranian leaders acknowledged serious damage but rejected claims the nuclear program was destroyed, while intelligence reports suggest delays of only a few months.
- The standoff hardened Iran’s diplomatic position, led to suspension of cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog, and left U.S.-Iran talks uncertain amid ongoing regional tensions.
