Iran rules out new nuclear talks until attacks stop

Iran has said it will not resume talks over its nuclear programme while under attack, hours after Israel's defence minister warned of a "prolonged" conflict with the Islamic Republic.

Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Friday met European diplomats in Geneva who urged him to revive diplomatic efforts with the US over his country's nuclear programme.

The Israeli army's chief of staff Eyal Zamir said in a video address that his country should be ready for a "prolonged campaign".

Fighting has raged into the night with the Israeli military announcing a new wave of attacks against Iranian missile storage and launch sites after Iran launched missiles towards central Israel.

Iran wants to play the negotiation game while they work on their nuclear program. They lied about it for years, and had western assets like Professor Juan Cole running interference for them with the American public. We had many discussions here about Cole's bullshit.

Even after the JCPOA was signed they still lied to the IAEA and hid their nuclear program.

The games are over.

Iran has never seemed to take nuclear regulation seriously. Window dressing is a phrase that comes to mind. Nothing really lost if they won’t negotiate.
