Iran will no longer engage in nuclear talks with the United States, state media reported. The decision came after Israel, one of the U.S.’s top allies, launched an attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities.

The attack took out top Iranian leaders, including Gen. Hossein Salami, the chief commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and multiple nuclear scientists.
