BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 19. Given the current
circumstances, any prospect of negotiations between Iran and the
U.S. remains implausible, the Chairman of the Iranian Parliament's
National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, Ebrahim Azizi,
said, Trend
reports.


He made the announcement at a press conference in Tehran on
January 19.


Five rounds of negotiations have been conducted between Iran and
the United States; however, the opposing side has transformed the
negotiating table into a battleground," he remarked.


Azizi further emphasized that the other party has disregarded
Iran's interests and is attempting to impose its own terms. From
this perspective, he argued, there is little rationale for
continuing negotiations.


The five rounds of indirect talks regarding Iran’s nuclear
program took place on April 12, 19, and 26, as well as May 11 and
23, 2025. These discussions were mediated by Sayyid Badr Hamad Al
Busaidi, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Sultanate of Oman, and
were led by the Iranian delegation, represented by Foreign Minister
Sayed Abbas Araghchi, and the U.S. delegation, headed by Special
Representative for the Middle East, Steve Witkoff. The first,
third, and fourth rounds were held in Muscat, Oman’s capital, while
the second and fifth rounds took place in Rome, Italy.


On the morning of June 13, 2025, Israel initiated airstrikes
against Iran, resulting in the deaths of numerous high-ranking
military officials, generals, nuclear scientists, and other senior
figures.







Later that evening, Iran retaliated with Operation True Promise
III, launching hundreds of ballistic missiles and drones targeting
various locations, including Tel Aviv. The strikes led to civilian
casualties and widespread devastation.


On June 22, the United States launched airstrikes against three
Iranian nuclear facilities, reportedly destroying them.


The following evening, June 23, Iran targeted a U.S. military
base in Qatar with airstrikes.


On June 24, the Israeli Prime Minister's Office announced that
Israel had agreed to a ceasefire with Iran, mediated by U.S.
President Donald Trump.


In a parallel development, Iran’s Supreme National Security
Council issued a statement confirming the cessation of
hostilities.
