Iran has stated that any future diplomatic engagement with the United States hinges on an immediate halt to Israeli aggression in Gaza and the broader region. This condition was laid out by Iranian officials as tensions between Tehran and Washington remain high amidst ongoing regional conflict.
Speaking to local media, Iranian authorities emphasized that the continuation of Israel’s military actions, especially in Gaza, undermines any prospect of peace or negotiations. They accused the US of double standards by calling for diplomacy while supporting Israeli military campaigns.
Iran’s statement comes in the wake of escalating violence, where Israeli airstrikes have caused massive civilian casualties and widespread destruction in the Gaza Strip. Tehran reiterated that unless Washington distances itself from what it called “genocidal acts” by Israel, there will be no diplomatic breakthroughs.
Analysts suggest this marks a new phase in Iran’s foreign policy stance, linking regional stability directly to the conduct of its adversaries, particularly the US and Israel.
