Synopsis

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned that any active US military involvement in the ongoing conflict with Israel would be "very, very dangerous for everyone." Araghchi, fresh from unsuccessful talks in Geneva, expressed openness to further dialogue but stressed Tehran's unwillingness to negotiate with the US while Israeli attacks persist. He made these remarks to reporters in Istanbul.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says it would be "very, very dangerous for everyone" if the United States becomes actively involved in the war with Israel.

US President Donald Trump is weighing American military involvement, which Araghchi said "would be very unfortunate."

Araghchi was speaking to reporters in Istanbul on his way home from talks in Geneva, which failed to produce a diplomatic breakthrough.

As the talks ended, Araghchi said he was open to further dialogue but emphasised that Tehran had no interest in negotiating with the US while Israel continued attacking.
