Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, has indicated that Iran is prepared to restart nuclear talks with the United States, provided there are guarantees against further attacks. Araghchi made these remarks during a meeting with foreign diplomats in Tehran, emphasizing that Iran seeks assurances that renewed negotiations will not lead to military conflict.

Following recent Israeli and American strikes on its nuclear facilities, Iran suspended cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Araghchi stated that future cooperation with the IAEA will be managed by Iran's Supreme National Security Council and reviewed on a case-by-case basis, taking into account Iran's security concerns. He also affirmed Iran's intention to continue uranium enrichment despite U.S. objections.

Iran willing to resume nuclear talks with U.S. if given assurances

Iran's foreign minister says his country is ready to resume nuclear talks with the United States but must have assurances there will be no more attacks against it. Abbas Arahi made the comments on Saturday during a meeting with foreign diplomats in Tehran. We have always been ready for talks over our nuclear programme and will be ready for them in the future. But naturally we must be assured that if negotiations are restarted they will not result in war by the U.S. or other countries. Arahi said Tehran will also consider requests from the UN's nuclear watchdog after suspending cooperation following Israeli and American strikes on the country's nuclear facilities last month. All of our cooperation with the agency from now on will be managed through the Supreme National Security Council. Demands of the IAEA for continuation of its monitoring, for continuation of cooperation with Iran will be reviewed by the Supreme National Security Council, case by case, and should be done based on Iran's security concerns. Arahi said Iran intends to continue enriching uranium on its soil despite U.S. objections. Iranian authorities say they haven't yet been able to access the nuclear facilities to assess the damage.
