Iran accuses US of backing Israeli attacks, calls negotiations 'meaningless'

Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said Monday that Israel’s attacks on residential areas and nuclear sites were carried out with US support, and dismissed any talk of nuclear negotiations as “meaningless” under current conditions.

“Israel, with the support of the United States, attacked us,” Baghaei said during a press conference, accusing both countries of violating international norms and threatening regional peace.

Baghaei also rejected what he described as “ambiguous statements calling for Iran’s restraint,” saying they amount to hypocrisy.
