TEHRAN, July 12 (Xinhua) — Iran has always been and will be "ready for talks" on its nuclear program, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in Tehran on Saturday.
“However, naturally, it should be ensured that if negotiations are resumed, this will not lead to a war started by the United States or other parties,” A. Araghchi noted at a meeting with foreign ambassadors and representatives.
As reported by the Iranian Student News Agency, citing A. Araghchi, the recent clashes between Israel and Iran have proven that there is no alternative to returning to diplomacy and finding a solution based on negotiations and agreements.
He said the United States "betrayed diplomacy and the negotiating process" by helping Israel attack Iran and then deliberately striking Iranian nuclear facilities.
If the United States seeks to resume negotiations, it must ensure that such a scenario does not happen again, the Iranian foreign minister said.
He said that any talks must respect the Iranian people's nuclear rights, including the country's uranium enrichment program. Stressing that the only subject of discussion could be Iran's nuclear program, he added that military aspects were not negotiable.
Tehran's cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is not ending and is only taking on a new form, he continued, adding that in the future, Iran's relations with the IAEA will be coordinated by the country's Supreme National Security Council, which will make decisions on further cooperation taking into account security issues. –0–
