The United States should exclude any additional strikes on Iran if he wants to resume diplomatic talks, said BBC Deputy Foreign Minister.
Majid Taht-Ravanchi says the Trump administration told Iran through the mediators that she wanted to return to the negotiations, but “did not give her position” on a “very important issue” of further attacks while negotiations are underway.
The Israeli military operation, which began in the first hours of June 13, passed the sixth round of the mostly indirect negotiations that took place in the Muscovite two days.
The United States became directly involved in the conflict between Israel and Iran over the weekend when the bombing was sent to three Iranian nuclear places.
Taht-Rows also said that Iran “would insist on enriching Uranus for what they say is peaceful goals, rejecting the allegations that Iran was secretly moving to the development of a nuclear bomb.
He said Iran was “refused to access nuclear material” for his research program, so it is necessary to “hope for oneself.”
“The level of this can be discussed, the possibilities can be discussed, but to say that you should not enrich, you should have zero enrichment, and if you do not agree, we will bomb you – this is the jungle law,” the deputy foreign minister said.
On June 13, Israel began attacks, focusing on nuclear and military plots, as well as an attempt on commanders and scientists, in Iran, saying that Tehran was close to the creation of nuclear weapons.
Iran replied by attacking Israel with rockets. Medium actions continued for 12 days, during which the US threw bombs on three Iran atomic sites: Fordo, Natanz and ISFAHAN.
The degree of damage caused to the American strike of Iran was incomprehensible, and Taht-rove said he could not give a clear assessment.
Rafael Grosi, Head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said the strikes had serious but “not full” damage, while US President Donald Trump said Iran’s nuclear facilities were “absolutely destroyed”.
Grosi also said that Iran was able to start enriching Uranus again in a “period of months”. In response, Taht-Rows said he did not know whether it would be so.
Iran’s relationship with the IAEA is becoming more intense. On Wednesday, his parliament moved to suspend cooperation with the Nuclear Cathedral, accusing the IAEA of siding with Israel and the US.
Trump said he would “absolutely” consider the issue of Iran’s bombing if the exploration find that he could enrich Uranus to the level.
Taht Rivanchy said he had not agreed on a possible return to the negotiations, and he did not know what would happen on the agenda after Trump suggested that this week could be discussed.
Iran’s deputy foreign minister said: “Now we are looking for an answer to this question: will we see a repetition of the Act of aggression as long as we participate in the dialogue?”
He said the United States should be “quite understandable in this very important issue” and “that they offer us to make the necessary confidence necessary for such a dialogue.”
Asked if Iran could consider rethinking his nuclear program as part of any transaction, perhaps in return for sanctions and investments in the country, Taht-Rouven said: “Why should we agree to such a proposal?”
He once again confirmed that the Iran’s program, including uranium enrichment, was “for peaceful purposes”.
According to the 2015 nuclear transaction with the world powers, Iran did not allow uranium to enrich more than 3.67% of cleanliness – the level required for fuel for commercial nuclear power plants – and it was not allowed to conduct any enrichment at the Fordo plant for 15 years.
However, Trump refused the agreement in 2018 during his first term as president, saying it was too little to stop the way to the bomb and restored US sanctions.
Iran has avenged, increasingly violating the restrictions – especially those concerning enrichment. He resumed the enrichment in Fordo in 2021 and scored 60%, erected by uranium to potentially make nine nuclear bombs, the IAEA reports.
Pressing on European and Western leaders who are not trusting in Iran, Taht-Rouvench accused some European leaders of “inappropriate” approval of us and Israeli strikes.
He said that those who criticize Iran about his nuclear program “must criticize how we were treated” and criticize the US and Israel.
He added: “And if they have no motives to criticize America, they must be silent, not try to justify aggression.”
Takt-Ravenance also said Iran received reports through mediators that the US “did not want to change the regime in Iran,” focusing on Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the country’s supreme leader.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged Iranians to “rise for their freedom” to knock down the clerical rule of Hamenia, but after reaching the ceasefire last week, Trump said he did not want the same.
Taht-Rivanchi insisted that this would not happen, and the idea was “equivalent to useless exercise”.
He said that although some Iranians “may criticize some of the government’s actions when it comes to foreign aggression, they would be combined to resist it.”
The Deputy Foreign Minister stated that it was “not quite” if the ceasefire with Israel will continue, but Iran will continue to observe it “until there is a military attack against us.”
He said Iran’s Arab allies in the Gulf of Persian “doing their best to try to prepare the necessary atmosphere for dialogue.” It is known that Qatar played a key role in the current ceasefire.
He added: “We don’t want war. We want to participate in dialogue and diplomacy, but we must be ready, we must be careful not to be surprised again.”
Lyse Doucet is allowed to report from Iran on the condition that none of its reports is used by the Persian BBC Service. This law by the Iranian authorities extend to all international media -operating agencies.
