Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said there are clear signs of “ill will” and a lack of seriousness by the United States as a new round of Pakistan-brokered talks hangs in the balance.

Speaking in a phone call with his Pakistani counterpart, Ishaq Dar, Araghchi said Washington’s approach raises doubts about the prospects for diplomacy, according to Press TV.

Earlier, the Israeli forces said they carried out a strike on a ready-to-fire launcher in the Kfarkela area of southern Lebanon overnight despite a ceasefire. The military said the launcher was located north of the so-called “Yellow Line” in the border region.
