Tehran Says It Could Resume US Nuclear Talks provided that Approached with 'Respect' and 'Respect'

Tehran is willing to reinitiate atomic talks with the United States on condition that it is handled with "dignity" and "honor", Iran's top diplomat has stated.

The Iranian diplomat said only diplomacy worked, and shared fresh requests had been made by mediators to resume discussions with the Trump administration. He said Iran possessed no undeclared nuclear sites, and Tehran had not yet reached a point to allow the UN nuclear inspectorate to inspect attacked atomic facilities for security reasons.

Walking a Challenging Path

The foreign minister is treading a complex course since Iran does not want be seen to be acting from a position of weakness, and he consistently maintained that Iran had come out more powerful in military terms and mentally from the coordinated strike on its atomic facilities in June.

He was addressing at a security conference in Tehran where he reiterated that Iran had "an absolute privilege to enrich uranium domestically that it will never give up" – the main reason of the stalemate in the prior discussions.

Previous Discussions Unexpectedly Terminated

The previous five rounds of discussions between the US and Iran were ended suddenly and hostile conclusion on 12 June when Israel, with American backing, targeted Iran's enrichment centers in a fortnight-long engagement that concluded with the US president asserting the sites had been eliminated. Following this, EU nations employed their privilege to reimpose UN-wide sanctions, but Iran insists they have not had a substantial consequence.

Ideal Resolution Suggested

Iranian officials said they felt they had achieved a "perfect agreement" to the uranium processing matter in prior discussions, when it was settled an domestic cooperative with Washington's engagement could refine atomic fuel. The two nations would have been able to assert triumph since local refinement would have continued and the US could be certain that Iran's nuclear programme was entirely non-military.

It had not been decided in the discussions that US nuclear scientists could work within Iranian territory, but that was a reasonable assumption of the consortium proposal. Officials stated on multiple occasions they had achieved a deal with Trump's special envoy the American negotiator only for the deal to collapse due to "detractors in America".

Current Position

Iran's diplomats stated the consortium offer was now no longer available, but it seems very probable the offer could be resurrected in various formats if negotiations reopen.

Trump in recent days said he had been getting signals that Iran sought to reopen negotiations, but privately Tehran representatives state they are not yet obtaining consistent overtures from the United States either straightforwardly or from key regional mediators, such as Qatar, Egypt, Oman and Saudi Arabia. The Iran's state department has been criticized of non-responsiveness in the aftermath of the US president's straightforward manner, but Iran says diplomacy is not part of a spectacle.

Diplomatic Stance

In his address to the forum, designed to depict the US as a controlling nation that abuses the idea of worldwide standards, Araghchi stated the two-week conflict revealed the clash could not be settled by military means. He said the attacks commenced with a Washington's ultimatum for an unconditional Iranian surrender and culminated with an complete request for a truce.

Iran is certain the first strikes by Israel were mounted with full US knowledge and cooperation, making confidence hard to reestablish.

Negotiations Stays the Ultimate Solution

The foreign minister said: "Tehran was not the one that had abandoned negotiations; it was the United States and the European states that had always tried to enforce their desires during the negotiations. Negotiations can still be viable and continues the ultimate resolution to resolve disputes, but its criteria, rules and tenets must be adhered to."

"In case they speak to the nation of Iran with the tone of respect and respect, they will obtain a answer in the identical language."

Restoration and Rebuilding

In what is described by Tehran representatives as the struggle of recovery and reconstruction, Araghchi said he was assured Iran's defence capabilities "are considerably enhanced than preceding 13 or 14 June of this year. All our capabilities have been reestablished. We acquired numerous insights from this engagement; we have identified our personal limitations and the weaknesses of the opponent."

He continued: "We successfully passed this conflict. Our enrichment knowledge, which they planned to obliterate, stays intact. The sites and equipment, if eliminated, will be restored; what is important is the will of the Iranian people and then the social solidarity that they targeted, but did not succeed to destroy. The Iranian people have grown stronger, more integrated, and more backing of the administration and the country in the face of this assault."
