Iran calls nuclear talks with US meaningless after Israeli strikes
Dubai, Jun 14 (AP): Israel's strikes also put further talks between the United States and Iran over a nuclear accord into doubt. The US and Iran were scheduled to meet in Oman, on Sunday.
Iran's top diplomat said on Saturday that talks with the United States were “unjustifiable” after Israeli strikes on his country, likely signalling no negotiations this weekend with Washington.
However he stopped short of saying the talks were cancelled.
The comments by Abbas Araghchi, Iran's minister of foreign affairs, came when he spoke by phone with Kaja Kallas, the European Union's top diplomat.
The Israeli airstrikes were the “result of the direct support by Washington”, Araghchi said in a statement carried by the state-run IRNA news agency.
The US has said it isn't part of the strikes.
Earlier, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman called further nuclear talks with the United States “meaningless” after Israeli strikes on the country, state television said.
The comments by Esmail Baghaei put further 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 was quoted as saying. He added that Israel had passed all Iran's red lines by committing a “criminal act” through its strikes.
The Mizan news agency, which is run by Iran's judiciary, quoted him as saying: “It is still not clear what we decide about Sunday talks.”

Grammy-winning composer suspects food delivery man of having stolen his sump cover
Bengaluru (PTI): Grammy-winning music composer Ricky Kej on Saturday expressed suspicion that an online food delivery platform driver had entered his house and stolen a sump cover.
In a post on social media platform 'X', the Padma Shri awardee wrote, "I was robbed! Dear @zomato @zomatocare, looks like one of your drivers entered my home on Thursday and stole our sump cover. This was at 6 o'clock in the evening. Quite bold of them!"
He further alleged that the individual had visited the premises about 15 minutes earlier to conduct what he described as a "recce" before returning to trespass and commit the theft.
Kej also shared CCTV footage from two angles, screenshots of the person's face, and details of the vehicle on which the accused had arrived.
Tagging Zomato and Bengaluru City Police, Kej sought assistance in identifying the person. "Possible for you or the @BlrCityPolice to provide assistance, as to who this person is?" he said.
He also urged the public to remain cautious, stating, "This can happen to you too!"
Responding to the post, Zomato Care said, "Ricky, this is really concerning, and we certainly don't encourage such behaviour from our delivery partners. We'll investigate this immediately so that necessary action can be taken, and we'd request you to kindly share your mobile number with us via DM so we can connect with you further."
Bengaluru City Police also responded to the post seeking his contact number and the location of the incident for further action.
