Iran is ready to reinitiate nuclear negotiations with the United States as long as it is handled with "respect" and "honor", Tehran's foreign minister has declared.
Abbas Araghchi stated exclusively dialogue was effective, and revealed new appeals had originated from go-betweens to restart talks with the Trump administration. He asserted Iran had zero unreported enrichment locations, and Iran was not yet able to permit the global atomic watchdog to access struck enrichment centers for protective measures.
The foreign minister is navigating a complex route since Iran does not want be perceived to be operating from a stance of weakness, and he consistently maintained that Iran had arisen more resilient defensively and emotionally from the coordinated strike on its atomic facilities in June.
He was addressing at a security conference in Tehran where he reaffirmed that Iran had "an inalienable right to enrich uranium within its borders that it will perpetually retain" – the key factor of the deadlock in the earlier negotiations.
The previous five rounds of discussions between the United States and Iran were ended suddenly and acrimonious termination on 12 June when the Israeli government, with American backing, targeted Iranian nuclear sites in a fortnight-long engagement that culminated with the American leader asserting the locations had been eliminated. Afterward, Western states used their authority to reinstate UN-wide sanctions, but Iran maintains they have not had a significant effect.
Iran's diplomats claimed they felt they had attained a "perfect agreement" to the nuclear fuel concern in earlier negotiations, when it was agreed an domestic cooperative with US participation could process nuclear material. Both sides would have been able to assert triumph since domestic enrichment would have persisted and the US could be confident that Iran's atomic project was exclusively peaceful.
It had not been settled in the negotiations that US nuclear scientists could operate on Iranian soil, but that was a reasonable assumption of the consortium proposal. Representatives asserted repeatedly they had reached agreement with Washington's diplomat the US official only for the deal to disintegrate due to "detractors in America".
Iran's diplomats said the cooperative arrangement was now withdrawn, but it seems quite possible the offer could be resurrected in certain ways if negotiations reopen.
The American leader recently said he had been getting signals that Iran wanted to reopen negotiations, but in private Tehran representatives claim they are not yet obtaining consistent overtures from America either directly or from key regional mediators, such as the Qatari government, the Egyptian leadership, the Omani authorities and Saudi Arabia. The Iran's state department has been charged of passivity in the aftermath of Trump's direct instinctive approach, but Tehran asserts dialogue is not part of a performance.
In his remarks to the gathering, intended to paint the US as a hegemonic power that abuses the concept of international law, the foreign minister stated the 12-day war demonstrated the dispute could not be resolved by combat operations. He stated the assaults began with a US demand for an total Iran submission and ended with an unconditional call for a truce.
Iran is assured the initial Israeli attacks were mounted with total Washington understanding and coordination, making confidence challenging to restore.
The foreign minister declared: "Tehran was not the one that had fled dialogue; it was the United States and the Western nations that had repeatedly sought to dictate their desires during the discussions. Diplomacy can still be viable and continues the primary answer to resolve disagreements, but its criteria, guidelines and tenets must be respected."
"Provided that they talk to the citizens of Tehran with the approach of respect and honor, they will get a answer in the same tone."
In what is described by Tehran representatives as the battle of repair and reconstruction, Araghchi claimed he was confident Iran's defence capabilities "are much stronger than before 13 or 14 June of this year. Every aspect of our defense have been rebuilt. We gained numerous insights from this war; we have come to know our internal vulnerabilities and the shortcomings of the opponent."
He continued: "We effectively endured this engagement. Our atomic expertise, which they planned to destroy, continues to exist. The installations and machinery, if damaged, will be rebuilt; what is important is the will of the Iranian people and then the social solidarity that they targeted, but failed to break. The nation of Iran have grown stronger, more integrated, and more backing of the government and the nation in the face of this attack."
