Araghchi reported<\/a> that he had emphasized Tehran\u2019s deep mistrust of the United States during the call. He also condemned the \u201cdestructive approach\u201d that \u201csome European countries\u201d and IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi had taken to the recent conflict between Israel and Iran. Their support for Israel and the United States complicates diplomatic efforts, Araghchi said, although he didn\u2019t specify which countries he meant.<\/p>\n

The call between Kallas and Araghchi came amid heightened international concern over Iran\u2019s nuclear ambitions following the collapse of its 2015 nuclear deal with the U.S. and Washington\u2019s dramatic June 21 strikes on its nuclear enrichment facilities<\/a>. That strike snuffed out a nascent effort<\/a> by European politicians to defuse tensions in talks with Araghchi. <\/p>\n

Hostilities between Iran and Israel have also escalated over the past fortnight with a series of strikes and counterstrikes, culminating on Tuesday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s declaration of victory<\/a> in the country\u2019s \u201cRising Lion\u201d operation to curb Iran\u2019s nuclear capabilities. However, some reports suggest<\/a> Iran\u2019s nuclear program has been delayed by a few months at most. <\/p>\n

A ceasefire announced last week<\/a> by U.S. President Donald Trump appears to be holding. Netanyahu\u2019s office announced on Tuesday<\/a> that the Israeli leader will visit the U.S. next week to meet with Trump, underscoring ongoing diplomatic efforts to keep the peace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Araghchi reported that he had emphasized Tehran\u2019s deep mistrust of the United States during the call.
