Iran says US not a ‘neutral’ mediator in ceasefire talks

Iran’s acting Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri Kani has discussed the ceasefire talks that took place in Doha with his Qatari counterpart Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani.

“Referring to the aggression and criminal nature of the Zionists in Gaza, I warned about the deceit and dishonesty of the criminal gang ruling Tel Aviv and their most important supporter, the US, at the negotiating table,” he posted on X.

“By supplying the Zionists with war weapons, the US is itself an accomplice, not a neutral mediator,” he added.

Earlier, Hamas said Israel the US administration and other Western nations were providing the “necessary cover and time” for Israel to carry out a “barbaric genocide”.
