Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has ruled out holding talks with US President Donald Trump as the US-Israeli war on Iran entered its 11th day, amid new Iranian attacks on Gulf cities.

Araghchi said on Tuesday that "talking or negotiating with Washington is no longer on the agenda" after a "very bitter experience" during previous rounds of nuclear talks in February, The Caspian Post reports, citing foreign media.

Israel and the US kicked off the war with Iran by bombing the country as it engaged in indirect talks with Washington, mediated by Oman, on its nuclear programme, sparking a wave of strikes by Tehran on neighboring countries and attacks on shipping in the Gulf.

In an interview with PBS News, Araghchi said: "They promised us that they don’t have any intention to attack us, and they wanted to resolve Iran’s nuclear question peacefully and find a negotiated solution."

"Still, they decided to attack us," he said. "I don't think the question of talking with the Americans, once again, would be on the table."
