Iran Open To Resume Talks But U.S. Must Compensate For Its Mistakes: Foreign Minister

Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi has stressed that Iran is open to resuming negotiations with the United States based on dignity and mutual respect.

Araqchi made the remarks in an interviw with French newspaper Le Monde.

He said that the U.S. must first change its behavior and guarantee it will not conduct further military strikes against Iran during negotiations.

The top Iranian diplomat reiterated that the Islamic Republic has always approached negotiations with a commitment to dignity, logic, and mutual respect, saying, “Diplomatic contacts and exchanges have always been ongoing. Currently, a diplomatic hotline is being established through friendly countries or intermediaries.”

“Diplomacy is a two-way street. It was the US that broke off negotiations and resorted to military action. Therefore, it is crucial for the US to accept responsibility for its mistakes and to demonstrate a clear change in behavior. We need assurances that the United States will refrain from military attacks during any future discussions,” Araqchi stated.

He highlighted that the U.S. attacks have caused damage to Iran’s nuclear facilities, emphasizing that the country reserves the right to seek compensation once the extent of the damage is assessed.

“It is our right to request compensation for the consequences of these actions. The assertion that a program has been destroyed, forcing a nation to abandon peaceful nuclear programs aimed at fulfilling energy, medical, pharmaceutical, agricultural, and developmental needs, is a significant miscalculation,” he explained.

Araqchi further asserted that a program under the constant supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (I.A.E.A.) and conducted in accordance with international law encompasses far more than just physical structures.

“The indomitable will of a nation that has achieved the pinnacle of scientific knowledge is not easily undermined. The IAEA’s reports have consistently confirmed that no diversion toward weapons activities has been detected in Iran’s peaceful nuclear program,” he said.

He noted that the true damage lies in the impact on the non-proliferation regime, stating, “The attack on nuclear facilities monitored by the I.A.E.A., coupled with the failure of Western countries to condemn it, represents an assault on the foundations of international law, particularly the non-proliferation regime.”

Araqchi emphasized that for renewed talks, the United States must accept responsibility for its actions toward Iran. He warned that further sanctions or military threats would undermine diplomatic efforts.

He also addressed suggestions from the three European countries regarding the activation of the sanctions mechanism outlined in the 2015 nuclear deal, stating that such a move would be tantamount to a military attack and would essentially negate Europe’s role in discussions concerning Iran’s peaceful nuclear program.

On June 13, Israel launched a blatant and unprovoked act of aggression against Iran, assassinating many high-ranking military commanders and nuclear scientists.

On June 22, the United States officially joined Israel’s war of aggression against Iran by launching attacks on three nuclear facilities in the country in violation of the United Nations Charter and the N.P.T.

On June 24, the Israeli regime, isolated and abandoned, declared a unilateral halt to its aggression, announced on its behalf by U.S. President Donald Trump.
