Iran parliament rules out resumption of US talks until preconditions are met
Iran's parliament said the country should not resume nuclear negotiations with the United States until preconditions are met, in a statement reported on Wednesday by Iranian state media. "When the U.S. use negotiations as a tool to deceive Iran and cover up a sudden military attack by the Zionist regime (Israel), talks cannot be conducted as before. Preconditions must be set and no new negotiations can take place until they are fully met," the statement said. The statement did not define the preconditions, but Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi has previously said there should be guarantees there will be no further attacks against Tehran. Israel and the U.S. launched strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities last month, saying that they were part of a programme geared towards developing nuclear weapons. Tehran maintains that its nuclear programme is purely for civilian purposes. Tehran and Washington had held five rounds of indirect negotiations mediated by Oman prior to the 12-day air war, with U.S. demands that Tehran drop its domestic uranium enrichment programme reaching a dead end. Last week, Araqchi reiterated Tehran's position that it would not agree to a nuclear deal that prevents it from enriching uranium and would refuse to discuss extra-nuclear topics such as its ballistic missile programme. U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he was in no rush to negotiate with Iran as its nuclear sites were now "obliterated", but the U.S., in coordination with three European countries, has agreed to set the end of August as the deadline for a deal. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said on Tuesday that Paris, London and Berlin would trigger the United Nations sanctions snapback mechanism, which would reimpose international sanctions on Iran, by the end of August if there is no concrete progress regarding an agreement.

'US Uses Negotiations As Tool...': Iran's Lawmakers Want Preconditions Before Any New Talks
Last Updated: Iranian lawmakers demand firm preconditions for new US talks, citing bad faith and military ties with Israel. MP Ahmad Naderi calls for a fundamental diplomatic shift. Lawmakers in Iran have suggested that no new negotiations with the United States should take place unless firm preconditions are set, Iranian media reported. The declaration was made during an open parliamentary session on Wednesday. Referring to June's 12-day conflict between Iran and Israel, Iranian lawmakers said, 'When the US uses negotiations as a tool to deceive Iran and to cover for sudden military attacks by the Zionist regime, talks cannot continue as before." The declaration, delivered by MP Ahmad Naderi, accused Washington of acting in bad faith and coordinating militarily with Israel. It called for a 'fundamental shift" in Iran's diplomatic approach, stressing that negotiations must be reached on clear, verifiable guarantees. 'Preconditions must be established, and until they are fully met, no new negotiations should take place," the declaration read. The move reflects growing hardline pressure within Iran's political establishment, as tensions with the US and Israel remain high. The specifics of the demanded preconditions were not known immediately. About the Author Manisha Roy Location : Tehran, Iran First Published:
