Iran has yet to make a decision on whether it will attend talks with the United States on Sunday, the foreign ministry spokesperson was cited as saying in state-affiliated media.
Esmail Baghaei said the US’ support for Israel has rendered negotiations “meaningless.”
“It is not possible for you to simultaneously claim to be negotiating and talking to reach an understanding on an issue, while at the same time… allowing a racist regime to violate the territorial integrity of (Iran),” Baghaei said, according to Nour News.
White House officials continue to argue that US President Donald Trump is committed to salvaging the nuclear talks, the sixth round of which was due in the Omani capital Muscat on Sunday. A source told CNN Friday that special envoy Steve Witkoff is “ready” to meet Iranian officials when they are – whether it be in Oman on Sunday or at some date thereafter.
