Iran’s deputy foreign minister told the BBC that the inclusion of US Israeli strikes would cause “hell to the whole area”.
Saeed Khatibjade said it was “not an American war,” and if US President Donald Trump is involved, he will always remember him as “the president who entered the war that he did not join.”
He said the US involvement turns into a “trick”, continues to aggression and delays the end of “cruel violence”.
His opinions have come after Iran’s missile attack was hit to Soroka Hospital in South Israel. Iranian state media reported that the strike was targeted by a military space beside the hospital, but not a facility.
71 people were injured during an attack on Soroka Medical Center, the Ministry of Health said.
Meanwhile, Israel’s military “passive” Araq said Iran has targeted nuclear sites, including the Araq Heavy Water Reactor and the Natanz facility.
Tehran has not renewed the deaths of Iran from the Israeli strike.
Recent attacks come at a critical time. The White House said on Thursday that Trump will decide whether or not the US is directly involved in the conflict in the next two weeks.
Speaking to the BBC, Khatibjade insisted that “Diplomacy is the first choice,” but when the bomb blasts continued, “We can’t start any talks.”
He said that the Iranian attack on Israel was “in the midst of diplomacy” under the UN Charter’s 51st Under, when a big aggravation of the conflict on June 13, Israel attacked Iran’s nuclear sites, killing several top generals and nuclear scientists.
The Deputy Foreign Minister called the conflict “unprovoked” and “unnecessary”.
Responding to Trump’s recurrent comments that Iran’s nucci deal could be avoided, Khatibjade said he was in talks until the Israeli was in talks to “destroy” the “spoiled” discussions by launching the Iranian attack.
“We are planning to run the sixth round nuclear talks in Muscat, and we are really on the road to reaching the contract,” he said.
“President Trump knows better than everyone else.”
He criticized Trump’s “confusing and contradictory” social media posts and interviews, suggesting that “Americans are aware and participated in the conflict.”
US Special Ambassador Steve Whitkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Arakchi have been reported to have spoken on the phone several times since Friday, reports Reuters in an attempt to find a diplomatic end of the crisis.
According to the three diplomats who spoke to the news agency and not to be identified due to the sensitivity of the matter, Tehran would not return to talks unless the Israeli attack was stopped.
Israel has recently accused Iran of “arms” of “arousing” its prosperous uranium inventory, which can be used for power plants or nuclear bombs. Iran has always claimed that its nuclear program is completely peaceful.
On Friday, the UN’s Nuclear Watchdog – International Nuclear Energy Agency (IAEA) said that Iran has enriched enough uranium with 60% of the purity – a small technical step away from arms grade, or 90% – to make nuclear bombs.
“It’s nonsense,” said Khatibjade in response. “You cannot start a war based on the ULA or purpose.
“If we want to have an atomic bomb, we have it before.
“Iran has not developed any program for nuclear arsenal of peaceful nuclear activities. Bottom line.”
IAEA chief Rafael Grossi said nuclear facilities should never be attacked, “Regardless of the circumstances or circumstances, people and the environment can never be attacked.”
After the G7 summit in Canada, Khatibjade discussed the potential diplomatic channels.
He said: “We are asking from Europeans. They want to return to diplomacy at the minister level”.
“We are very happy to have a meeting in Geneva and finally they should come and talk to the table about the problems that are in hand.”
