Iran Says No To Nuclear Talks Until Attacks Stop

Posted by: lukwago J in World news June 21, 2025

In the high-stakes drama unfolding in the Middle East, Iran has made it clear that they won’t be sitting down for talks on their nuclear program while under fire. This bold statement came hot on the heels of Israel’s defense minister sounding the alarm about a potentially long and bitter conflict with Iran.

As Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi engaged with European diplomats in Geneva, there was a collective push to reignite diplomatic channels with the US regarding Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

In a gripping video address, Israeli Defense Minister Eyal Zamir urged his nation to brace for a protracted battle, warning of stormy days ahead in the escalating conflict.

Clashes and chaos

The clash of arms continued into the night, with the Israeli military launching fresh strikes on Iranian missile facilities in response to missiles fired towards central Israel. Explosions rocked the vicinity of Tel Aviv, with reports of a building ablaze from the fallout.

Araghchi held firm that Iran would only entertain diplomatic overtures once Israel’s aggression ceased.

He staunchly defended Iran’s peaceful nuclear pursuits, asserting their unyielding right to self-defense.

In a bold move, US President Donald Trump set a ticking clock of two weeks for Iran to avert potential American airstrikes, casting doubt on the effectiveness of talks between Iran and European allies.

Calls for reason amidst chaos

Amid the chaos, UK, French, and German foreign ministers implored Iran to engage in dialogue with all parties, including the US, without waiting for a ceasefire. They cautioned against seeking military solutions or regime change in Iran.

The conflict escalated as Israel faced a fresh barrage of Iranian strikes targeting Haifa, resulting in casualties on both sides. The toll mounted, underscoring the urgency of finding a peaceful resolution to prevent further bloodshed.

As the region grapples with the human toll of conflict and the specter of further violence looms large, the need for swift and decisive diplomatic action becomes more pressing than ever.
