Iran said Monday that the resumption of hostilities in the Middle East war will have consequences for ongoing talks with the United States to reach peace in the region. "It is perfectly natural that the diplomatic process initiated to put an end to this imposed war would be affected," Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said at a press conference in Tehran attended by AFP. He added that the United States held responsibility for the resumption of fighting, saying Israel's actions "cannot be separated" from US policy. "Without a doubt, as I said, the actions of the Zionist regime in the region cannot be separated from US policies," he stressed. "No one believes that the Zionist regime would carry out any action without prior coordination and cooperation with the United States," he said.
