Iran has withdrawn from the sixth round of nuclear talks with the United States, set for June 15, 2025, in Muscat, Oman. According to Oman News Agency and Iranian state television, the negotiations, aimed at curbing Iran’s nuclear program, are suspended indefinitely. The withdrawal comes after recent Israeli airstrikes in Iran. The session was intended to resolve disputes over uranium enrichment caps and US sanctions relief.

Trump's ultimatum to Iran

Earlier today, US President Donald Trump said he had given Iran a 60-day ultimatum on a nuclear deal before Israel's strikes, but added Tehran now has a second chance. "Two months ago, I gave Iran a 60-day ultimatum to 'make a deal.' They should have done it! Today is day 61. I told them what to do, but they just couldn't get there. Now they have, perhaps, a second chance!" Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

Israel launched large-scale strikes against Iran on Friday, saying it had attacked nuclear facilities and missile factories and killed a swathe of military commanders in what could be a prolonged operation to prevent Tehran from building an atomic weapon.
Trump suggested that Iran had brought the attack on itself by resisting US demands in talks to restrict its nuclear programme, and urged it to make a deal, "with the next already planned attacks being even more brutal". Washington said it had no part in the operation,
however.

Earlier in the day, Netanyahu announced that Israel has launched a massive attack on Iran.

"As part of the strikes, the underground area of the site was damaged. This area contains a multi-story enrichment hall with centrifuges, electrical rooms, and additional supporting infrastructure. In addition, critical infrastructure enabling the site's continuous operation and the Iranian regime's ongoing efforts to obtain nuclear weapons were targeted. We will continue to operate to prevent the Iranian Regime from acquiring nuclear weapons," it detailed further.
