Iran’s Parliament has issued a statement declaring that the country cannot engage in talks with the United States as it did before the recent aggression and that no new negotiations with the United States should take place unless preconditions are met.

A senior Iranian source in Tehran tells NBC that Israel asked Iran to stop attacks and return to the nuclear talks with the US.

Iran will only accept concrete guarantees in indirect nuclear talks with the US as repeated American betrayals have shown that US signatures hold no weight, says a senior Iranian lawmaker.

In the third round of indirect talks on Saturday in Muscat, Iran and the US engaged in more serious discussions, delving into detailed and technical aspects of nuclear issues.

Following the productive second round indirect nuclear talks in Rome on Saturday, Iran and the US are now set for expert-level meetings later this week as a step forward.

Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi of Iran says the US military buildup in the region contradicts Washington’s call for diplomacy to reach a deal with Tehran.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Araghchi says if it had not been for the Islamic Republic’s missile capabilities, no country would have engaged in negotiations over the Iranian nuclear energy program.
