TEHRAN, Aug. 11 (Xinhua) — The United States' involvement in Israel's attack on Iran has lowered Tehran's trust in Washington to "below zero," Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said Monday.
The diplomat made the statement at a weekly press conference, answering a question about Iran's preconditions for resuming talks on its nuclear program with the United States.
“We have no trust in the United States… Israel’s attack on Iran against the backdrop of /indirect Iranian-American/ negotiations and the subsequent participation of the United States in it, in fact, left no room for even zero trust /in Washington/,” noted E. Bagai.
He said Iran had not yet made any decision on resuming talks with the United States, adding that talks and messages between the two sides were continuing through intermediaries.
E. Bagai also condemned the US sanctions, saying they weakened international rules and norms regarding free trade.
On June 13, two days before the start of the sixth round of proxy talks on Iran's nuclear program with the United States, Israel launched massive airstrikes on several Iranian sites, including nuclear and military facilities, killing senior military officials, nuclear scientists and scores of civilians. Iran responded with several waves of missile and drone strikes against Israel.
On June 22, the US military bombed three Iranian nuclear facilities in Natanz, Fordow and Isfahan. Iran responded by striking the US Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.
On June 24, after a 12-day war, a ceasefire was reached between Iran and Israel. –0–
