WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump said Monday he was not offering Iran anything nor talking to it "since we totally obliterated" the country's nuclear facilities.
"I am not offering Iran ANYTHING, unlike Obama," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
"Nor am I even talking to them since we totally OBLITERATED their Nuclear Facilities."
The statement comes as Iran's deputy foreign minister told the BBC that talks between Washington and Tehran cannot resume unless the US rules out further strikes on Iran.
Majid Takht-Ravanchi told the British broadcaster that the US had signalled it wants to return to the negotiating table, a week after it struck three Iranian nuclear facilities.
"We have not agreed to any date, we have not agreed to the modality," said Takht-Ravanchi.
"Right now we are seeking an answer to this question. Are we going to see a repetition of an act of aggression while we are engaging in dialogue?"
The US needs to be "quite clear on this very important question", he said.
The two countries were in talks over Tehran's nuclear programme when Israel hit Iranian nuclear sites and military infrastructure this month, with the US joining by bombing three nuclear sites - Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan - on June 21.
