- Iran's deputy foreign minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi stated on June 29, 2025, that talks with the United States will not restart unless Washington confirms it will refrain from carrying out additional attacks on Iran.
- This follows Israel's military operation starting on June 13 and the US bombing three Iranian nuclear sites—Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan—on June 21, escalating tensions amid ongoing negotiations.
- Takht-Ravanchi emphasized that Iran has not agreed to any date or modality for talks and that the US must clarify its position on avoiding repeated acts of aggression during dialogue.

- The deputy minister stated that Iran insists on its right to peaceful uranium enrichment and warned that without US assurances, diplomatic progress remains unlikely, indicating continued regional instability.
