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

    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.
