Iran calls nuclear talks with US ‘meaningless’ after Israeli strikes

Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman today calls further nuclear talks with the United States “meaningless” after Israeli strikes on the country, state television says.

The comments by Esmail Baghaei further threw possible talks between the two nations, initially scheduled to take place Sunday in Oman, into doubt.

“The US did a job that made the talks become meaningless,” Baghaei is quoted as saying. He adds that Israel has passed all Iran’s red lines by committing a “criminal act” through its strikes.

However, he stops short of saying the talks were cancelled. The Mizan news agency, which is run by Iran’s judiciary, quotes him as saying: “It is still not clear what we decide about Sunday talks.”
