The United States and Iran are locked in a heated war of words at the UN Security Council over the resumption of nuclear talks. The British news agency Reuters reported this information in a report on Wednesday (December 24). The United States has said it is ready for direct talks, but Iran has rejected Washington’s conditions. Iran and Israel held at least five nuclear talks before the 12-day conflict in June.
\nUS President Donald Trump confirmed that American warplanes had bombed three Iranian nuclear facilities. The US carried out the attacks due to concerns about its uranium enrichment program. However, Western powers want it to be stopped to reduce the risk of nuclear weapons, but Tehran has firmly rejected this. However, Tehran has made it clear that talks with Washington are not possible if it insists on its zero uranium enrichment policy.
\n“The United States is ready to engage in formal negotiations with Iran, but only if Tehran agrees to engage in direct and meaningful dialogue,” US Ambassador to the Middle East Morgan Ortagus told the Security Council on Tuesday (December 23) local time. “We have made it clear that we have certain expectations for any agreement. The most important thing is that there will be no nuclear weapons enrichment activities on Iranian soil, and that is our policy.” Meanwhile, Iran’s UN Ambassador Amir Saeed Erabani said, “The United States is not on the path to fair negotiations. Iran will not bow to any pressure.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
