TEHRAN – Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei declared that Israel’s recent acts of aggression have made dialogue meaningless, asserting to the United States that it makes no sense for Washington to profess a willingness to negotiate while enabling a "genocidal regime" to attack Iran’s territorial integrity.

In remarks to Iranian media, Baghaei said that Israel "has crossed all of Iran’s red lines," adding that Tehran expects all concerned countries to condemn the regime's heinous crimes.

The spokesman stressed that the UN Security Council has a clear responsibility in this matter and that the regime’s aggressive actions must be seriously addressed, with the necessary mechanisms put in place.

Baghaei reiterated, “The other side [United States] has done something that makes dialogue meaningless. You cannot claim to be negotiating while at the same time dividing responsibilities and allowing a genocidal regime to target Iran’s territorial integrity.”

He also noted, “It is inconceivable that the regime could have committed such a crime without U.S. approval.”

Baghaei concluded that the Zionist regime has always sought to entangle Western parties, and it appears that this time, too, it has succeeded in influencing the diplomatic process.

On Friday, June 13, Israel launched a large-scale military offensive against the Islamic Republic of Iran, marking a significant escalation in regional tensions and raising serious concerns over violations of international law amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza.

The Israeli attacks targeted Iran’s civilian nuclear facilities and residential buildings, resulting in the deaths of dozens of civilians, senior nuclear scientists, and high-ranking military officials. Iran and the U.S. were set to attend a 6th round of indirect nuclear talks in Oman on Sunday before the aggression took place. Iran has yet to officially announce its withdrawal from the talks, but it appears unlikely that Iranians will turn up at the negotiating table.
