Iran is ready to resume atomic talks with the United States on condition that it is handled with "respect" and "respect", Tehran's foreign minister has stated.

Abbas Araghchi declared solely negotiations worked, and revealed new appeals had originated from go-betweens to resume negotiations with the American leadership. He claimed Iran had zero secret atomic facilities, and Tehran was not yet able to authorize the global atomic watchdog to visit attacked atomic facilities for safety concerns.

Walking a Difficult Course

The foreign minister is treading a difficult course since Iran does not want be perceived to be acting from a stance of weakness, and he consistently maintained that Iran had emerged more powerful in military terms and mentally from the coordinated strike on its atomic facilities in June.

He was talking at a security conference in Tehran where he reaffirmed that Iran had "a fundamental entitlement to process nuclear material on home soil that it will always maintain" – the primary cause of the impasse in the previous talks.

Earlier Discussions Suddenly Concluded

The prior phases of discussions between the US and Iran were ended suddenly and acrimonious termination on 12 June when the Israeli government, with American backing, targeted Tehran's atomic facilities in a fortnight-long engagement that ended with the American leader claiming the locations had been eliminated. Afterward, European countries used their privilege to reimpose global restrictions, but Iran asserts they have not had a significant effect.

Perfect Agreement Suggested

Iran's diplomats said they felt they had achieved a "perfect agreement" to the uranium processing matter in prior discussions, when it was agreed an local partnership with Washington's engagement could refine atomic fuel. Both sides would have been able to claim victory since home-based processing would have remained and the US could be assured that Iran's enrichment initiative was exclusively peaceful.

It had not been agreed in the discussions that US nuclear scientists could operate on Iranian soil, but that was a reasonable assumption of the cooperative offer. Representatives asserted on multiple occasions they had secured an understanding with Trump's special envoy the US official only for the arrangement to fall apart due to "opponents in the US".

Existing Position

Iran's diplomats declared the consortium offer was now off the table, but it seems highly likely the suggestion could be revived in some form if negotiations reopen.

The American leader recently said he had been obtaining communications that Iran sought to reopen negotiations, but privately Iranian officials claim they are not yet obtaining clear proposals from America either explicitly or from key regional mediators, such as Qatar, Egypt, the Omani authorities and the Saudi kingdom. The Tehran's diplomatic corps has been criticized of inactivity in the wake of Trump's direct instinctive approach, but Tehran states diplomacy is not part of a spectacle.

Political Stance

In his remarks to the forum, designed to portray the US as a hegemonic power that misuses the idea of global regulations, Araghchi declared the fortnight-long engagement demonstrated the dispute could not be ended by combat operations. He stated the attacks began with a American requirement for an complete Tehran capitulation and concluded with an unconditional call for a halt to hostilities.

Iran is assured the initial Israeli attacks were carried out with total Washington understanding and cooperation, making trust challenging to reestablish.

Dialogue Remains the Ultimate Solution

Araghchi declared: "It was not Iran that had fled dialogue; it was the United States and the western countries that had always tried to dictate their will during the discussions. Diplomacy can still be active and stays the primary answer to address disputes, but its standards, guidelines and tenets must be followed."

"Provided that they speak to the citizens of Tehran with the approach of dignity and respect, they will get a answer in the identical tone."

Repair and Rebuilding

In what is described by Iranian officials as the battle of recovery and rebuilding, the foreign minister stated he was assured Iran's military capacities "are considerably enhanced than prior to 13 or 14 June of this year. All our capabilities have been reestablished. We acquired numerous insights from this war; we have come to know our own weaknesses and the shortcomings of the adversary."

He added: "We effectively endured this war. Our nuclear technology, which they intended to obliterate, continues to exist. The sites and equipment, if destroyed, will be reconstructed; what is essential is the determination of the nation of Iran and then the social solidarity that they aimed at, but did not succeed to destroy. The Iranian people have developed more resilient, more united, and more supportive of the government and the nation in the aftermath of this assault."
