Ahead of talks in Geneva, Araghchi says Iran won't negotiate 'with any party' while under Israeli fire

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi tells Iranian state television that Tehran will not hold talks “with any party” until Israel ceases to strike the Islamic Republic.

Araghchi is expected to meet with the foreign ministers of Germany, France, and Britain in Geneva later today to discuss de-escalation.

He also claims that the US wants to return to the negotiating table to discuss Iran’s nuclear program, but that Tehran rejected the request.

“There is no room for negotiations with the US until the Israeli aggression stops,” he says, accusing the US of being “a partner to Israeli crime against Iran.”
