TEHRAN, June 10 (HS/RIA Novosti) - Iran may distance itself from negotiations with the United States due to strikes on Iran, they may lead to disruption of dialogue, a member of the Iranian parliament's national security and foreign policy committee, Fida Hossein Maleki, told RIA Novosti.

Earlier in the day, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said that the US forces had completed strikes against Iran in response to the attack on an Apache helicopter. The operation targeted Iranian air defense facilities, ground control stations and surveillance radar sites near the Strait of Hormuz, the CENTCOM said. In response, Iran attacked US bases in the Middle East.

Due to the actions of the United States and the behavior of the [Israeli] regime, we are distancing ourselves from the negotiations ... If the United States continues its operations, Iran will move further away from the negotiating table, just like it happened now. Therefore, there is a possibility that the negotiations will fail, the lawmaker said.
