There is deep “mistrust” in relations between Washington and Tehran following last year’s strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, Abbas Araghchi has said
Iran will strike American bases in the Middle East if the US attacks the country, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has warned.
The US and Iran held indirect talks in Oman on Friday amid heightened tensions following strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities last year, which were justified as preventing Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons – an ambition it denies.
US President Donald Trump has since warned of further attacks unless Iran resumes negotiations, and sent an “armada” to the Middle East last month, demanding limits on uranium enrichment and Iran’s missile program.
Friday’s meeting marked the first attempt to bridge the standoff. No breakthrough was announced, though both sides agreed to continue talks.
