Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said Iran is unlikely to resume negotiations with the United States following recent hostilities, citing what he described as a “bitter experience” with past talks.

Speaking to journalist Amna Nawaz on PBS NewsHour from Tehran, Araqchi said that despite progress during previous rounds of negotiations, U.S. actions undermined the diplomatic process, making further dialogue with Washington unlikely to return to Iran’s agenda.

"I don't think that question of talking with Americans or negotiation with the Americans once again would be on the table," Araqchi said.

Araqchi also blamed the United States and Israel for rising instability across the Middle East, saying attacks against Iran had disrupted oil production and transportation in the region. He described the conflict as “a war imposed on us,” insisting Iran’s actions were acts of self-defense and that Tehran was not responsible for the broader consequences affecting the region and the international community.
