Iran Cancels Nuclear Talks with US Amid Escalating Regional Tensions

A senior US official later confirmed that the talks would not be happening, though they expressed a continued commitment to negotiations and hope for Iran's return to the table soon. Oman also confirmed the cancellation.

Earlier reports indicated that Iran's participation in technical talks was also jeopardized due to recent attacks on the country and unfulfilled conditions of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the United States, specifically regarding access to unfrozen funds. Mehdi Fazaeili, an official from the Office of Preservation and Publication of the Works of Iran’s Supreme Leader, cited this as a reason for Iran's absence from the planned technical discussions.

US President Donald Trump had previously warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against actions that could jeopardize nuclear talks, but later called the Israeli attacks "excellent." Trump has also blamed Iran for rejecting US proposals on uranium enrichment and warned of further Israeli strikes. Netanyahu has vowed to continue attacks to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
