Fidan emphasized the uncertainty surrounding the resumption of negotiations between the parties, but expressed confidence in a negotiated solution.

Israel launched a bombing campaign against Iran on June 13 under the pretext that the country was on the verge of acquiring a nuclear weapon, although the Iranians had consistently denied the military dimension of their nuclear program.

Iran responded to the attack by launching drones and ballistic missiles into Israeli territory.

On June 22, the United States became involved in the conflict with a massive bombing raid on three Iranian nuclear sites, an intervention that earned strong condemnation from Russia, China, and other nations.
