Iran’s foreign ministry said Monday that it has no immediate plan to restart nuclear negotiations with the United States, signaling a continued pause in diplomatic efforts as regional tensions remain high.

The statement comes after a period of heightened strain in the Middle East, including recent Israeli strikes that have intensified pressure on already fragile regional diplomacy. Tehran did not give a timeline for any possible future talks.

The lack of a clear path back to the table raises questions about efforts to limit escalation and revive a deal that has been stalled for years. For civilians across the region, the diplomatic deadlock carries the risk of further instability and uncertainty.

The Reuters report did not indicate any breakthrough behind the scenes, and Iranian officials offered no new public conditions for reopening negotiations.
