Iran's Foreign Ministry has indicated uncertainty over participating in scheduled negotiations with the United States following Israeli attacks on Iranian territory, Ettelaat newspaper reported on June 14.

Esmaeil Baghaei, Foreign Ministry spokesman, told the paper that Tehran's decision regarding the next round of talks remained undecided after the overnight strikes by Israel across the country and Iran’s response.

"The other side has acted in a way that essentially makes negotiation and dialogue meaningless," Baghaei stated, criticising the simultaneous pursuit of talks whilst allowing what he termed a "racist regime" to violate Iran's territorial integrity.

The spokesman argued that Israel could not have conducted such strikes without American cooperation, coordination or at minimum an informed green light from Washington.

Baghaei held the United States responsible for the consequences of what he called Israel's "reckless and illegal action", adding that no decision had been made regarding participation in talks scheduled for this weekend.

"Israel's perpetual wish has been to drag Western countries into regional conflicts and entanglements, and it appears to have succeeded this time in affecting a diplomatic process through this adventurism," he said.

The comments followed Israeli strikes on Tehran and other Iranian cities that killed military commanders, scientists and civilians, according to Iranian reports.

Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, subsequently warned that Israel "must expect severe punishment" and that the country's armed forces would not let the matter pass.

Iran responded with missile strikes targeting occupied territories, causing damage to various areas of Tel Aviv and other cities.
