Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has publicly dismissed the possibility of future diplomatic talks with the United States, citing a breakdown in trust following military actions in the region. According to the President, the current conflict in the Middle East was initiated in late February when the United States and Israel launched a series of surprise military strikes against Iran.

These alleged attacks reportedly occurred while representatives from Washington and Tehran were actively engaged in discussions regarding Iran’s nuclear program. The Iranian leadership characterizes these actions as a direct contradiction to the spirit of the negotiations, leading to the conclusion that further diplomatic engagement is currently pointless.

While the Iranian government maintains that these strikes were unprovoked and occurred during a sensitive diplomatic window, the report provided by NDTV does not include a response or counter-narrative from U.S. or Israeli officials regarding the timeline or the nature of these alleged military engagements. Consequently, the international perspective on these events remains limited to the Iranian administration's official account of the escalation.
