🔗 Share this article Tehran Says It May Rejoin US Atomic Discussions provided that Approached with 'Respect' and 'Honor' Tehran is prepared to reinitiate atomic talks with the United States on condition that it is approached with "respect" and "respect", Tehran's foreign minister has stated. The Iranian diplomat said exclusively dialogue worked, and shared recent overtures had been made by intermediaries to resume discussions with the US government. He asserted Iran possessed no secret atomic facilities, and Tehran was not yet able to allow the International Atomic Energy Agency to visit bombed nuclear sites for security reasons. Walking a Challenging Course The foreign minister is walking a difficult course since Iran does not want be seen to be acting from a situation of weakness, and he emphatically stated that Iran had come out stronger in military terms and mentally from the Israeli-US attack on its atomic facilities in June. He was speaking at a security conference in Tehran where he reiterated that Iran had "an absolute privilege to refine atomic fuel within its borders that it will perpetually retain" – the key factor of the stalemate in the earlier negotiations. Prior Negotiations Suddenly Terminated The previous five rounds of negotiations between the United States and Iran were ended suddenly and acrimonious termination on 12 June when the Israeli government, with Washington's assistance, attacked Tehran's atomic facilities in a fortnight-long engagement that ended with the US president asserting the locations had been eliminated. Following this, Western states employed their right to reinstate global restrictions, but Iran insists they have not had a major impact. Magic Solution Suggested Iran's diplomats stated they felt they had reached a "ideal resolution" to the nuclear fuel concern in prior discussions, when it was decided an domestic cooperative with American involvement could enrich uranium. The two nations would have been able to assert triumph since domestic enrichment would have remained and the US could be confident that Iran's atomic project was exclusively peaceful. It had not been settled in the talks that American atomic experts could function inside Iran, but that was a reasonable assumption of the partnership suggestion. Officials claimed three times they had reached agreement with Washington's diplomat the US official only for the arrangement to collapse due to "opponents in the US". Existing Status Iran's diplomats stated the cooperative arrangement was now no longer available, but it seems highly likely the proposal could be resurrected in some form if negotiations resume. The US president in recent days stated he had been obtaining communications that Iran desired to reopen negotiations, but privately Tehran representatives claim they are not yet receiving coherent offers from America either straightforwardly or from key regional mediators, such as Qatar, Egypt, the Omani authorities and Saudi Arabia. The Iran's state department has been criticized of passivity in the wake of Washington's unmediated tactics, but Iran says diplomacy is not part of a performance. Diplomatic Standpoint In his remarks to the conference, designed to portray the US as a dominant force that abuses the concept of international law, Araghchi said the two-week conflict revealed the conflict could not be settled by combat operations. He asserted the attacks started with a US demand for an unconditional Iranian surrender and ended with an absolute demand for a truce. Iran is convinced the opening assaults from Tel Aviv were carried out with full US knowledge and collaboration, making faith difficult to reestablish. Dialogue Continues the Final Solution The foreign minister said: "Tehran was not the one that had abandoned negotiations; it was the United States and the Western nations that had always tried to enforce their desires during the negotiations. Negotiations can still be alive and continues the final solution to settle disagreements, but its requirements, guidelines and fundamentals must be followed." "If they address to the nation of Iran with the approach of respect and respect, they will obtain a answer in the equivalent approach." Restoration and Reconstruction In what is portrayed by Iran's diplomats as the battle of repair and recovery, Araghchi stated he was assured Iran's military capacities "are much stronger than preceding 13 or 14 June of this year. Our entire military infrastructure have been restored. We acquired multiple understandings from this war; we have discovered our personal limitations and the vulnerabilities of the enemy." He stated: "We successfully passed this conflict. Our nuclear technology, which they planned to destroy, stays intact. The sites and equipment, if destroyed, will be reconstructed; what is crucial is the determination of the citizens of Tehran and then the social solidarity that they sought to undermine, but were unable to break. The citizens of Tehran have grown stronger, more integrated, and more backing of the government and the state in the face of this invasion."
