Iran says return to hostilities will affect talks with US
Iran said Monday that the United States held responsibility for the resumption of fighting with Israel, saying Israel's actions "cannot be separated" from U.S. policy.
"Without a doubt, as I said, the actions of the Zionist regime in the region cannot be separated from U.S. policies," foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said at a press conference in Tehran attended by AFP.
"No one believes that the Zionist regime would carry out any action without prior coordination and cooperation with the United States," he added. "It is perfectly natural that the diplomatic process initiated to put an end to this imposed war would be affected".
"Diplomatic consultations are naturally continuing in all circumstances," Baqaei said.
