Following an attack in Beirut, Iran has declared negotiations with the United States “useless” and cast doubt on the possibility of a peace agreement. This announcement comes shortly after former US President Donald Trump claimed a deal to end Middle Eastern conflict was imminent, scheduled to be signed on Sunday. The Iranian response effectively rejects Trump’s assertion of a forthcoming agreement. The Beirut attack’s specifics remain unclear, but Iran views it as a significant factor influencing its decision. This development complicates efforts to de-escalate tensions in the region and raises concerns about the future of diplomatic solutions. The shift in stance suggests a hardening of positions from Iran regarding engagement with the US.
