The Biden administration has rebuffed the prospect of resuming nuclear talks with Iran after Tehran expressed its willingness to return to the negotiating table. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei gave Iran’s new president, the reformist Masoud Pezeshkian, the OK on Tuesday to relaunch talks with Washington. But a U.S. State Department spokesperson told reporters shortly after the news, “We are far away from anything like that right now.”
