Iran is prepared to resume atomic negotiations with the United States provided that it is treated with "dignity" and "honor", Tehran's top diplomat has stated.

The Iranian diplomat stated exclusively dialogue was effective, and disclosed recent overtures had come from intermediaries to restart negotiations with the American leadership. He asserted Iran possessed no unreported enrichment locations, and Tehran had not yet reached a point to permit the global atomic watchdog to inspect attacked atomic facilities for protective measures.

Walking a Challenging Path

The foreign minister is navigating a challenging course since Iran aims to avoid appear to be operating from a situation of disadvantage, and he insisted repeatedly that Iran had emerged stronger in military terms and psychologically from the Israeli-US attack on its enrichment centers in June.

He was addressing at a strategic meeting in Tehran where he restated that Iran had "an absolute privilege to refine atomic fuel on home soil that it will perpetually retain" – the main reason of the deadlock in the prior discussions.

Prior Talks Suddenly Terminated

The earlier sessions of talks between the United States and Iran were brought to an abrupt and acrimonious termination on 12 June when Israel, with American backing, attacked Tehran's atomic facilities in a fortnight-long engagement that ended with Donald Trump declaring the sites had been eliminated. Following this, EU nations exercised their authority to restore UN-wide sanctions, but Iran asserts they have not had a major impact.

Ideal Resolution Suggested

Tehran representatives claimed they felt they had achieved a "ideal resolution" to the uranium processing matter in prior discussions, when it was agreed an local partnership with US participation could enrich uranium. The two nations would have been able to assert triumph since home-based processing would have persisted and the US could be certain that Iran's enrichment initiative was entirely non-military.

It had not been decided in the talks that American atomic experts could function within Iranian territory, but that was a logical implication of the partnership suggestion. Officials stated repeatedly they had reached agreement with the US representative the US official only for the agreement to fall apart due to "spoilers in Washington".

Existing Status

Iran's diplomats said the consortium offer was now withdrawn, but it seems very probable the offer could be resurrected in various formats if negotiations resume.

Trump last week stated he had been obtaining communications that Iran wanted to restart talks, but in private Tehran representatives claim they are not yet obtaining coherent offers from the United States either directly or from key regional mediators, such as Qatar, Egypt, Oman and the Saudi kingdom. The Iranian foreign ministry has been accused of inactivity in the wake of Trump's direct instinctive approach, but Iran says dialogue is not part of a performance.

Diplomatic Stance

In his speech to the conference, intended to portray the US as a dominant force that misuses the idea of worldwide standards, the foreign minister declared the fortnight-long engagement demonstrated the dispute could not be resolved by combat operations. He stated the attacks started with a Washington's ultimatum for an unconditional Iranian surrender and culminated with an absolute demand for a truce.

Iran is assured the initial Israeli attacks were mounted with full US knowledge and cooperation, making confidence hard to rebuild.

Dialogue Continues the Ultimate Answer

The foreign minister stated: "It was not Iran that had deserted dialogue; it was America and the European states that had repeatedly tried to dictate their will during the negotiations. Dialogue can still be viable and remains the final answer to resolve conflicts, but its criteria, guidelines and tenets must be followed."

"Provided that they talk to the citizens of Tehran with the tone of respect and respect, they will receive a answer in the same tone."

Recovery and Recovery

In what is characterized by Tehran representatives as the battle of recovery and reconstruction, Araghchi said he was assured Iran's military capacities "are much stronger than before 13 or 14 June of this year. Every aspect of our defense have been rebuilt. We gained numerous insights from this war; we have come to know our internal vulnerabilities and the weaknesses of the adversary."

He stated: "We successfully passed this engagement. Our nuclear technology, which they intended to eliminate, continues to exist. The facilities and machinery, if destroyed, will be rebuilt; what is crucial is the will of the nation of Iran and then the national cohesion that they aimed at, but failed to destroy. The citizens of Tehran have become stronger, more integrated, and more backing of the administration and the nation in the aftermath of this attack."
