Israel is trying to prevent Tehran from entering into a atomic agreement with the US, said Iranian abroad Minister Abbas Araghchi at his first press conference since the escalation of the conflict between the muslim Republic and the judaic state on Friday.
The sixth circular of talks between Washington and Tehran, which was due to take place in Oman on June 15, was cancelled after Israel conducted an air strike on Friday against Iran, as the muslim Republic called the declaration of war.Iran responded by firing multiple ballistic rocket volleys at targets in Israel, including the country's largest city, Tel Aviv.Countries continued to exchange hits at night and during the day on Sunday, and Israel attacked Iran's energy infrastructure and what he called places "related to Iran's atomic weapons project".Tehran fired more missiles at targets in Israel, including close Haifa and Tel Aviv;At least 10 people were reportedly killed in the attacks and about 200 injured.In his comments on Saturday Araghchi reiterated that Iran's authorities are "strongly convinced that they do not have atomic weapons".However, he noted that “Those who are willing to deprive Iran of our right to have a atomic programme for peaceful purposes have no right to do so."“This is simply a substance of course.
Zionist Being [Israel] does not want us to scope an agreement or diplomatic solution with the United States" said the minister.According to Araghchi, the breakthrough could have occurred during the cancelled talks between Tehran and Washington."During the erstwhile circular of talks, the Americans made a number of proposals that were not full acceptable to us.
We presented our answer and our points of view, and we were to present a counter-proposal.
Our proposal could open the door to a complete agreement with the Americans" – he claimed.Earlier on Sunday, US president Donald Trump insisted that Washington ‘had nothing to do with’ with an attack on the muslim Republic and urged Tehran to return to diplomacy, saying "We can easy scope an agreement between Iran and Israel and end this bloody conflict".Iranian abroad Minister said Tehran does not believe US claims that he was not active in Israeli aggression.
“We have evidence that this is not the case” – stressed.
