Tehran is ready to restart nuclear discussions with Washington as long as it is handled with "respect" and "honor", Iran's top diplomat has stated.

Abbas Araghchi said solely negotiations was effective, and revealed fresh requests had been made by go-betweens to resume negotiations with the American leadership. He said Iran did not have unreported enrichment locations, and Tehran could not yet allow the International Atomic Energy Agency to inspect struck enrichment centers for protective measures.

Walking a Complex Course

Araghchi is walking a complex route since Iran wishes not to appear to be proceeding from a position of disadvantage, and he consistently maintained that Iran had arisen more powerful militarily and psychologically from the joint assault on its nuclear sites in June.

He was addressing at a defense forum in Tehran where he restated that Iran had "a fundamental entitlement to refine atomic fuel within its borders that it will never give up" – the main reason of the deadlock in the previous talks.

Prior Talks Suddenly Terminated

The previous five rounds of discussions between the United States and Iran were concluded unexpectedly and hostile termination on 12 June when Israel, with American backing, attacked Tehran's atomic facilities in a fortnight-long engagement that ended with the American leader declaring the locations had been eliminated. Afterward, EU nations employed their privilege to restore international penalties, but Iran asserts they have not had a substantial consequence.

Magic Solution Suggested

Iran's diplomats stated they felt they had attained a "perfect agreement" to the nuclear fuel concern in previous talks, when it was decided an Iran-based consortium with US participation could refine atomic fuel. Both sides would have been able to claim victory since local refinement would have continued and the US could be assured that Iran's atomic project was exclusively peaceful.

It had not been decided in the talks that US nuclear scientists could operate within Iranian territory, but that was a natural consequence of the cooperative offer. Officials asserted three times they had reached agreement with the US representative the American negotiator only for the agreement to fall apart due to "spoilers in Washington".

Current Status

Iranian officials said the cooperative arrangement was now withdrawn, but it seems quite possible the offer could be reintroduced in certain ways if negotiations resume.

The US president recently said he had been receiving messages that Iran desired to restart talks, but confidentially Iran's diplomats claim they are not yet obtaining coherent offers from the United States either explicitly or from key regional mediators, such as the Qatari government, Egypt, the Omani authorities and the Saudi kingdom. The Iran's state department has been criticized of inactivity in the wake of Washington's unmediated tactics, but Tehran asserts diplomacy is not part of a spectacle.

Political Standpoint

In his remarks to the gathering, aimed to portray the US as a dominant force that misuses the idea of international law, the foreign minister stated the fortnight-long engagement showed the dispute could not be settled by armed force. He said the strikes started with a American requirement for an total Iran submission and ended with an complete request for a halt to hostilities.

Iran is certain the opening assaults from Tel Aviv were carried out with complete American awareness and coordination, making confidence difficult to rebuild.

Diplomacy Continues the Final Resolution

The foreign minister said: "Tehran was not the one that had abandoned diplomacy; it was the United States and the European states that had always tried to dictate their will during the talks. Dialogue can still be viable and continues the final resolution to resolve disagreements, but its criteria, rules and principles must be respected."

"Provided that they address to the Iranian people with the tone of dignity and honor, they will get a answer in the identical language."

Recovery and Recovery

In what is portrayed by Tehran representatives as the conflict of repair and rebuilding, Araghchi stated he was assured Iran's military capacities "have significantly improved than prior to 13 or 14 June of this year. Every aspect of our defense have been reestablished. We acquired numerous insights from this engagement; we have come to know our internal vulnerabilities and the weaknesses of the adversary."

He stated: "We successfully passed this conflict. Our atomic expertise, which they intended to destroy, stays intact. The installations and equipment, if destroyed, will be rebuilt; what is important is the determination of the citizens of Tehran and then the social solidarity that they aimed at, but did not succeed to shatter. The Iranian people have developed stronger, more integrated, and more backing of the government and the state in the face of this assault."
