Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi excluded on Monday the idea of a quick resumption of US-Iran talks stating that Iran should ensure that Trump will not attack Tehran again, according to Al Arabiya.
Resumption of US-Iran Talks
When asked about US President’s remarks that the talks could resume as early as this week, Araghchi said: “I don’t think negotiations will restart as quickly as that.”
In the same context, he added that Iran would never engage in nuclear negotiations if the US did not guarantee that it will not attack its nuclear facilities.
“In order for us to decide to reengage, we would have to first ensure that America will not revert back to targeting us in a military attack during the negotiations,” Araghchi said.
However, Araghchi stressed that the door for diplomacy will never slam shut.
Speaking at a press conference at the White House on Friday, Trump said he would “absolutely” consider bombing Iran again, according to BBC.
Trump also stated that if intelligence emphasized that Iran could enrich uranium to concerning levels, he would “without question” attack the country.

Meanwhile, Araghchi said that Tehran was able to defend itself if attacked again. “We showed and proved during this 12-day imposed war that we have the ability to defend ourselves and we will continue to do so should any aggression be launched against us,” he said.
