Al Jazeera said Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Argchi has rejected the possibility of a quick resumption of nuclear dialogue with the United States, despite US President Donald Trump’s comment may begin early this week.
Araghchi’s comments came during an interview on CBS Evening News on Monday, as the Foreign Ministers of the Group of seven (G7) issued a joint statement for a fresh interaction to curb Iran’s nuclear program.
Iran and America were engaged in conversation when Israel started attacks on Iranian nuclear and military infrastructure. The US later joined the aggressive on 21 June, targeting Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan sites.
Tehran has maintained its atomic program, while the US and Israel say their aim is to prevent Iran from receiving nuclear weapons. Argchi said that Iran will not talk in the conversation until it is guaranteed that there will be no further military attacks during the talks.
He said, “To decide to rethink for us, we must first ensure that the US will not return to target us in a military attack during the talks,” he said. “I think with all these ideas, we still need more time,” he said, “Given that” the doors of diplomacy will never be closed. ,
The Trump administration is renewed with Tehran after Trump’s first tenure before the 2015 nuclear deal. The deal had overshadowed the uranium enrichment at 3.67 percent in exchange for the relief of restrictions. After the return of the US, Iran increased the promotion by 60 percent, still below arms grade but above civil use.
Trump claimed that the US strike “slanting” Iran’s nuclear sites “slanting”, senior US officials said it would be almost impossible for Iran to revive its nuclear program.
Araghchi rejected that claim. “Technology and science cannot be wasted for promotion through bomb blasts,” he told CBS. “If this will be from our side, and the will is once again available to progress in this industry, then we will be able to repair the loss and make up for lost time.”
Reporting from Tehran, Al Jazeera’s Resail Sedar said that there has been an increase in tension between Iran and International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). “They [Iranians] They are saying that they will only allow inspectors to return after securing nuclear sites “that was bombing by the US and Israel, Sardar said.
Iran has suspended collaboration with IAEA, after which President Masaud Peseshkian described the “disastrous” behavior of the agency chief.
Meanwhile, the G7 Foreign Ministers welcomed the ceasefire between Iran and Israel and called for a fresh interaction.
He said in a joint statement on Monday, “We ask to resume the conversation, resulting in a comprehensive, verificationable and durable agreement that addresses Iran’s nuclear program.” He also urged that “all the parties urged to avoid the tasks that unstable the region,” said Al Jazira. (AI)
