Local time on June 14, Iranian President Pezeshkyan told French President Macron during a phone call that Iran would not participate in nuclear negotiations with the United States as long as Israel continued to attack Iran.

Pezeshkyan emphasized that Iran has never sought war, but will not hesitate to defend itself.

On local time June 14, Pezeshkyan had a phone conversation with Macron. Screenshot from the official website of the Iranian president.

According to reports from the official website of the Iranian president and Agence France-Presse, local time on June 14, Pezeshkyan told Macron, "There is a view that Iran will yield to unreasonable demands and pressure under dual standards, or negotiate while attacks by Israel continue. This is a wrong judgment."

He stressed that Iran does not seek war or bloodshed, but will respond decisively to any threat.

Pezeshkyan pointed out that the United States has consistently stated that without their coordination and approval, Israel will not take aggressive actions. "Therefore, it is clear that the current attacks on Iran are being carried out with U.S. support."

The message from the official website of the Iranian president said that in response to this, Macron expressed that France is willing to play a more active role in resolving the Iranian nuclear issue. He also clarified that France was not informed of Israel's plan to attack Iran and did not participate in related actions. "I hope recent developments will not have an adverse impact on cooperation and relations between Iran and France."

Macron posted on social media on the same day, calling for all parties to exercise maximum restraint to avoid escalation of the situation.

Macron also stated that he proposed that the Iranian nuclear issue must be resolved through negotiation, urging Iran to return to the negotiating table as soon as possible. "This is the only possible way to ease tensions."

In addition, according to reports from the Islamic Republic News Agency, Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif pointed out locally on June 14 during a phone call with the EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell, that continuing negotiations between Iran and the United States is "senseless" when Israel's barbaric actions persist.

Omani Foreign Minister Badr announced on social media on the same day that the sixth round of talks between Iran and the United States originally scheduled for June 15 in the Omani capital, Muscat, "will no longer take place." "However, diplomacy and dialogue remain the only path to achieving lasting peace."

Following the Israeli air strike, the Iranian government announced on the morning of June 13 on state television that the sixth round of nuclear talks would be suspended until further notice.

U.S. President Trump threatened Iran on social media on the same day, claiming that "the next strike will be even more brutal" and demanding that Iran quickly reach a nuclear agreement with the United States.

Trump wrote that he had given Iran "one opportunity after another to reach an agreement," but both sides had failed to reach an agreement. "I told them it would be worse than anything they know, expect, or have been told. The United States has made the best and most lethal military equipment in the world, and Israel has many such equipment and will have more in the future—they know how to use these tools."

He claimed, "Some hardliners in Iran bravely spoke out, but they don't know what's coming. Now they're all dead, and things will only get worse! There has already been great death and destruction, but there is still time to end this slaughter, and the next planned strike will be even more brutal."

Trump demanded that Iran quickly reach an agreement with the United States, "Iran must sign an agreement before it has nothing left and save the country once known as the Persian Empire. No more death, no more destruction—do it before it's too late."
