    Iran Slams US Diplomacy as “Negotiating With Itself” After Talks Break Down

    Tensions in the Middle East intensify after the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed reports from Iran of a projectile strike near the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant. While no casualties or technical damage have been reported, the incident has added a fresh layer of volatility to an already fragile geopolitical situation. Iran has firmly rejected the United States’ ceasefire push, casting doubt on Washington’s reported 15-point plan. In a strongly worded statement on state television, Lt Col Ebrahim Zolfaghari accused the US of “negotiating with itself,” dismissing any claims of active diplomatic engagement. His message was clear and uncompromising - no deal, not now, not ever.
