Tehran. Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Saturday that he would agree to resume nuclear talks with the United States if he was assured that there would be no further attacks against his country.

In an address to foreign diplomats in Tehran, Foreign Minister Araghchi said Iran was always ready for talks on its nuclear program and would be ready in the future. “But if the talks resume, we should assure that this trend will not go to war,” he said. ’

Referring to the 12 days of Israeli bombing of Iran’s nuclear and military sites and the Us attack on June 22, he said, “If the US and others want to resume talks with Iran, there must first be a firm guarantee that such actions will not be repeated.” Attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities have made it more difficult and complicated to achieve a negotiated solution. ’

After the attack, Iran suspended cooperation with the United Nations’ Nuclear Watchdog (IAEA). Since then, the IAEA inspectors have returned.

Araghchi said under the law, the country would respond “case by case” to the agency’s request for assistance based on Iran’s interests.

He said the agency should carry out any inspection on the basis of Iran’s “security” concerns as well as the security of inspectors.

“The risk of the spread of radioactive elements remaining from the war on the attacked nuclear facilities and the explosion of gunpowder is serious,” Foreign Minister Araghchi said.

He also reiterated Iran’s stance that uranium processing should continue on its soil. US President Donald Trump has stressed that this cannot happen.

Israel has claimed that Tehran had access to nuclear weapons. Us intelligence agencies and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) estimated that Iran last had an organized nuclear weapons program in 2003.

However, Tehran was enriching up to 60 percent of uranium. This means that the weapons-grade level is shorter than 90 percent and only a technical step away.

In an interview published On Monday, Iranian President Masood Pezeskien said the US air strikes had damaged his country’s nuclear facilities so badly that Iranian officials still could not have access to survey the destruction.
