Iran's deputy foreign minister warned the US against joining Israeli strikes on Iran, stating it would create regional chaos and prolong the conflict. He claimed Iran's actions were self-defense following Israeli attacks on Iranian nuclear sites, hindering ongoing nuclear negotiations. He dismissed accusations of Iran pursuing nuclear weapons, citing the IAEA's report as speculation. While expressing a preference for diplomacy, he insisted negotiations wouldn't begin until Israeli attacks cease. The US is considering direct involvement within two weeks.
