Amid escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has raised concerns about Tehran's trust in the United States during diplomatic talks regarding the country's nuclear program. Araghchi suggested that the US's diplomatic interests may have been a cover for Israel's recent airstrikes on Iran.

In an exclusive interview with NBC News, Araghchi expressed uncertainty about Iran's trust in the US following the Israeli attacks on Tehran. He emphasized that it is crucial for the Trump administration to demonstrate a commitment to seeking a negotiated solution amidst the ongoing conflict with Israel.

Furthermore, Araghchi highlighted that Washington's diplomatic intentions might have been a facade for Israel's military actions against Iran. He mentioned that a call from the US to Israel to halt all activities could pave the way for renewed negotiations.

Recently, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt conveyed a message from US President Donald Trump, indicating the possibility of negotiations with Iran and a forthcoming decision on military action within the next two weeks. The Israeli attack on Iran coincided with the sixth round of talks between American and Iranian officials regarding Tehran's nuclear program.

Araghchi criticized the actions of the US and Israel, labeling them as a betrayal of diplomacy. He expressed Iran's willingness to engage in negotiations after discussions with European diplomats in Geneva, on the condition that Israel ceases its attacks on Iran.

The Iranian foreign minister reiterated Iran's stance on uranium enrichment, stating that the country will not comply with Trump's demands to cease enrichment activities. He emphasized that every nation has the right to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes.

Araghchi also warned that any US involvement in Israeli strikes on Iran would lead to retaliatory actions from Tehran. He dismissed Trump's comments regarding Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's safety as an insult rather than a threat.

In conclusion, Araghchi emphasized that a simple directive from Washington to Israel to halt hostilities could reignite diplomatic negotiations between Iran and the US.
