The attacks by the U.S. and Israel on Iranian nuclear facilities have hindered the prospects of talks and rendered regulatory mechanisms obsolete, Tass cited Iranian Ambassador to Russia Kazem Jalali as saying.

"It is now evident to everyone that we have never left the negotiating table and remain committed to diplomacy. However, an attack on peaceful Iranian nuclear facilities by the dominant Western powers, led by the United States, undermines rationality, hampers the chances for negotiations, and makes regulatory and legal mechanisms obsolete," he stated.

"We did not initiate this war. It was imposed on our country by the aggressive actions of the Zionist regime and the United States," emphasized Jalali.
