U.S. Rejects Resumption of Nuclear Talks After Overture by Iran
---------------------------------------------------------------

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."
