Iran has signaled its willingness to resume nuclear diplomacy—but only under strict conditions.
Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said renewed talks must include U.S. guarantees that Iranian nuclear sites will not be struck again, following recent Israeli and U.S. airstrikes, including the impactful June 22 bombing campaign.
The cancelled June 15 round in Oman collapsed after Tehran deemed the attacks a “declaration of war.” Araghchi told Le Monde that diplomacy must now be rooted in accountability, mutual respect, and concrete assurances.
Tehran continues enriching uranium to 60% purity under IAEA oversight, arguing this proves its program’s peaceful goals.
Iran also refuses to discuss its ballistic missile capability, calling it defensively crucial.
Washington asserts Trump remains committed to peace—though Araghchi dismissed claims of Iran’s program being “obliterated” and hinted at possible compensation for damage.
The stakes are high as both sides weigh whether talks can survive past recent military escalations.
