Tehran announced on Monday it had “no specific date” for a meeting with the US concerning the nuclear talks, according to AFP.
“For now, no specific date, time or location has been determined regarding this matter,” Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said regarding the plans for a meeting between Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and US envoy Steve Witkoff.
Iran has held several negations with Washington on Tehran’s nuclear program before Israel attacked Iran’s nuclear facilities on June 13.
The US became directly involved in the conflict between Israel and Iran on June 22 after launching airstrikes on the Iranian nuclear facilities in Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan.
Araqchi said that if the US and others wish to resume nuclear talks with Iran, “first of all, there should be a firm guarantee that such actions will not be repeated.”
“We have been serious in diplomacy and the negotiation process, we entered with good faith, but as everyone witnessed, before the sixth round the Zionist regime, in coordination with the United States, committed military aggression against Iran,” Baqaei said.
Meanwhile, Araqchi stated that Tehran would restart nuclear talks with the US if there were assurances of no more attacks against Iran, according to The Associated Press.
He also noted that Iran has always been ready and will be ready in the future for talks about its nuclear program. However, “assurance should be provided that in case of a resumption of talks, the trend will not lead to war.”
