Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has confirmed media reports that officials in Washington believe Israel may have tried to kill Iran's top negotiators in an attempt to derail ceasefire talks with the United States that were to take place in Pakistan.
The talks in Islamabad, mediated in part by US Vice President JD Vance, led to the framework deal Iran and the US signed on 17 June to halt their war.
The two countries are now in a 60-day extended ceasefire meant to allow for negotiating sides to produce a final agreement.
