Iran's foreign minister has warned that it would be "very, very dangerous for everybody" if the US was to join Israel's strikes on his country.
Speaking on the sidelines of a meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, Abbas Araghchi said: "Unfortunately we have heard that the US may join this aggression.
"That would be very unfortunate and very, very dangerous for everybody."
US President Donald Trump has delayed a decision on joining Israeli strikes against Iran for up to two weeks.
World leaders have been calling on Iran to negotiate with the US to find a diplomatic solution to the conflict.
Araghchi said Israeli aggression needs to end before it comes back to diplomacy.
"It is obvious that I cannot go to negotiations with the US when our people are under bombardment under the support of the US," he said.
"We have come to the conclusion that the US has been in this aggression from the beginning."
The US has denied being involved in the attacks.

Since 13 June, Israel has launched airstrikes targeting Iranian nuclear and military sites as well as top generals and nuclear scientists.

Missiles have struck 40 different sites, including apartment buildings, offices and a hospital, according to authorities.
Two centrifuge production sites have been struck in Iran, an Israeli military official has said.
Reuters reported that the unnamed official said the sites were in Isfahan, a central city that is home to one of Iran's biggest nuclear facilities.
Earlier today, Iran's Fars news agency said the Isfahan nuclear facility had been targeted by an Israeli attack.
Centrifuges are used to enrich uranium, which can be used for domestic purposes but also for nuclear weapons.
Russia has repeatedly told Israel that Iran has no intentions of obtaining nuclear weapons, Vladimir Putin has said.
Speaking to Sky News Arabia, Putin said: "I must say that Russia, like the IAEA [International Atomic Energy Agency], has no evidence that Iran is preparing to acquire nuclear weapons."
"If Israel has any concerns, then they need to be addressed, and there are forms and possibilities for addressing these concerns, as I have already said, in my opinion," the Russian president added.
It comes after US President Donald Trump said his intelligence agencies were wrong in suggesting there was no evidence Iran is building a nuclear weapon.
Israel has justified its airstrikes on Iranian nuclear and military targets by saying Tehran was on the verge of having a warhead.
Iran has denied developing nuclear weapons, saying its uranium enrichment programme is only for peaceful purposes.
But it is the only non-nuclear-weapon state to enrich uranium up to 60% - which is close to weapons-grade levels of 90%.
