Iran and the U.S. were participating in indirect nuclear negotiations before the war broke out. Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, speaking at an OIC meeting in Ankara, stated clearly that what the U.S. obliterated with its Sunday strikes – and earlier ones it helped Israel carry out – wasn‘t Iran‘s nuclear facilities, „but rather diplomacy.“ During the ongoing aerial campaign against Iran, at least 400 civilians have been killed and 2,000 injured according to the latest Health Ministry figures.
