Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei emphasized in a statement on Saturday that "it is unthinkable for the Islamic Republic of Iran that the Zionist regime would have committed such a war in the region without the coordination or conscious green light from the United States.
Regarding the next round of negotiations pre-planned for Sunday in Muscat, Oman, he said, "It is not clear that what decision we will make in this regard on Sunday."
“The other side (the US) acted in a way that makes dialogue meaningless. You cannot claim to negotiate and at the same time divide work by allowing the Zionist regime (Israel) to target Iran’s territory,” the spokesman added.
He said Israeli regime “succeeded in influencing” the diplomatic process and the Israeli attack would not have happened without Washington’s permission.
Iran earlier accused the US of being complicit in Israel’s attacks.
The sixth round of US–Iran nuclear talks was set to be held on Sunday in Muscat, but it was unclear whether it would go ahead after the Israeli strikes.
US President Donald Trump told Reuters that he and his team had known the Israeli attacks were coming but they still saw room for an accord, Reuters reported.
