No Room for Talks with U.S. Until Israeli Aggression Ends, Says Iranian Foreign Minister
Tehran, June 2025 —
Iran’s Foreign Minister has firmly ruled out the possibility of diplomatic engagement with the United States amid ongoing Israeli military operations in the region. Speaking to local media, the minister stated that “there will be no room for talks with the U.S. until the aggression by the Israeli regime comes to a complete halt.”
The remarks come as tensions continue to escalate in the Middle East, with Iran repeatedly condemning Israel’s actions in Gaza and other occupied territories. The Iranian government has accused the United States of offering unwavering support to Israel, holding Washington accountable for what it describes as war crimes and human rights violations.
“The U.S. cannot claim to seek peace while actively backing a regime involved in daily atrocities,” the minister said. “Dialogue is meaningless in the shadow of bombs, blockades, and bloodshed.”
The statement underscores Iran’s longstanding position that meaningful negotiations with Washington are impossible unless there is a fundamental shift in U.S. foreign policy, particularly in relation to Israel and Palestine. Analysts believe the comments also signal a harder stance from Tehran amid renewed regional hostilities and increased pressure from Western powers.
International observers have urged both sides to exercise restraint and return to diplomatic channels, but with Iran setting clear preconditions and the U.S. reaffirming its alliance with Israel, prospects for immediate talks appear dim.
As the situation unfolds, Iran continues to call on the international community to intervene and hold Israel accountable for its military actions. The Foreign Minister concluded his remarks by stating that peace and dialogue will only be possible when justice is restored in the region.
