Iran is prepared to resume nuclear discussions with Washington as long as it is approached with "dignity" and "honor", Iran's top diplomat has announced.
The Iranian diplomat declared only diplomacy was effective, and shared recent overtures had originated from go-betweens to restart talks with the US government. He said Iran had zero unreported enrichment locations, and Iran was not yet able to authorize the global atomic watchdog to inspect bombed nuclear sites for safety concerns.
The foreign minister is treading a challenging route since Iran wishes not to appear to be proceeding from a stance of weakness, and he insisted repeatedly that Iran had arisen more powerful in military terms and emotionally from the coordinated strike on its nuclear sites in June.
He was talking at a defense forum in Tehran where he reaffirmed that Iran had "a fundamental entitlement to process nuclear material within its borders that it will always maintain" – the main reason of the stalemate in the earlier negotiations.
The earlier sessions of negotiations between the US and Iran were ended suddenly and acrimonious end on 12 June when the Israeli government, with American backing, struck Iranian nuclear sites in a 12-day war that culminated with Donald Trump declaring the facilities had been obliterated. Subsequently, European countries employed their right to reimpose UN-wide sanctions, but Iran maintains they have not had a major impact.
Tehran representatives claimed they felt they had attained a "magic solution" to the uranium processing matter in previous talks, when it was agreed an domestic cooperative with Washington's engagement could process nuclear material. The two nations would have been able to assert triumph since home-based processing would have continued and the US could be confident that Iran's enrichment initiative was exclusively peaceful.
It had not been settled in the talks that American atomic experts could work within Iranian territory, but that was a reasonable assumption of the cooperative offer. Representatives claimed on multiple occasions they had secured an understanding with Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff only for the arrangement to collapse due to "spoilers in Washington".
Tehran representatives said the partnership proposal was now off the table, but it seems very probable the offer could be revived in certain ways if negotiations restart.
The American leader in recent days said he had been getting signals that Iran sought to restart talks, but in private Iran's diplomats state they are not yet receiving consistent overtures from Washington either straightforwardly or from important Middle Eastern intermediaries, such as Qatar, the Egyptian leadership, the Omani authorities and the Saudi kingdom. The Tehran's diplomatic corps has been criticized of inactivity in the wake of Trump's direct instinctive approach, but Tehran says diplomacy is not part of a spectacle.
In his address to the conference, designed to depict the US as a hegemonic power that exploits the idea of global regulations, the foreign minister declared the two-week conflict revealed the conflict could not be settled by armed force. He said the assaults commenced with a US demand for an unconditional Iranian surrender and culminated with an complete request for a halt to hostilities.
Iran is certain the initial Israeli attacks were mounted with complete American awareness and collaboration, making faith challenging to rebuild.
The foreign minister declared: "Tehran was not the one that had abandoned dialogue; it was America and the Western nations that had repeatedly tried to dictate their will during the negotiations. Negotiations can still be alive and stays the primary solution to resolve disputes, but its requirements, regulations and fundamentals must be followed."
"If they speak to the citizens of Tehran with the tone of dignity and honor, they will receive a answer in the identical language."
In what is described by Tehran representatives as the battle of recovery and recovery, Araghchi stated he was assured Iran's defence capabilities "are considerably enhanced than prior to 13 or 14 June of this year. Our entire military infrastructure have been reestablished. We acquired multiple understandings from this war; we have identified our internal vulnerabilities and the weaknesses of the opponent."
He continued: "We managed to survive this engagement. Our atomic expertise, which they planned to eliminate, stays intact. The sites and machinery, if destroyed, will be restored; what is essential is the determination of the citizens of Tehran and then the social solidarity that they targeted, but were unable to destroy. The Iranian people have developed stronger, more cohesive, and more backing of the leadership and the nation in the wake of this assault."
