Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva casts doubt on the prospect of negotiations with the US, three days after the US and Israel launched joint strikes on the country.
“For the time being we are very doubtful about the usefulness of negotiation,” Ali Bahreini, ambassador of the Iranian mission to the UN in Geneva, tells reporters.
US President Donald Trump has sent mixed signals about how open he is to talking with the Iranians, days after Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, was killed in the strikes.
