The conflict between the United States, Israel and Iran stretched into its 27th day Thursday with Iranian officials firmly rejecting U.S. overtures for negotiations while President Donald Trump touted a 15-point peace proposal and warned of escalated strikes if Tehran does not accept what Washington calls military defeat.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated emphatically that no talks are underway and his country will not negotiate while under attack. "No conversations and negotiations have taken place," Araghchi said, dismissing U.S. claims of productive discussions as attempts to manipulate markets and public opinion.
