Iran says there is “no point” in continuing peace talks with the United States after an Israeli strike in Beirut’s southern suburbs. The Iranian chief negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, argues the US cannot be trusted to uphold its commitments, and he links the stance to the aftermath of the strikes. The comments come hours after Israel said it carried out military action targeting Iran-backed Hezbollah in Beirut’s southern suburbs. Multiple reports describe the episode as a new obstacle in wider efforts to reach a deal to end the Middle East war. Inquirer.net also reports Iran raises doubts about a proposed agreement that US President Donald Trump had previously said could be signed imminently. The outlets agree on the core message from Iran: continued negotiations with the US are pointless if Washington does not meet the commitments Iran expects. The reports do not provide details on the US or Israel responses within the excerpts provided.
