Iran is willing to restart nuclear talks with Washington as long as it is treated with "respect" and "honor", Tehran's foreign minister has stated.

The Iranian diplomat declared exclusively dialogue produced results, and revealed recent overtures had originated from go-betweens to resume discussions with the Trump administration. He claimed Iran did not have secret atomic facilities, and Iran was not yet able to authorize the global atomic watchdog to inspect attacked atomic facilities for protective measures.

Walking a Complex Course

The foreign minister is treading a challenging course since Iran aims to avoid be seen to be proceeding from a position of vulnerability, and he emphatically stated that Iran had come out more powerful defensively and emotionally from the Israeli-US attack on its enrichment centers in June.

He was talking at a strategic meeting in Tehran where he reiterated that Iran had "an absolute privilege to process nuclear material on home soil that it will never give up" – the main reason of the deadlock in the previous talks.

Prior Discussions Suddenly Terminated

The prior phases of discussions between the United States and Iran were brought to an abrupt and hostile conclusion on 12 June when the Israeli government, with US support, targeted Iranian nuclear sites in a fortnight-long engagement that ended with the US president asserting the facilities had been obliterated. Afterward, EU nations used their authority to reimpose global restrictions, but Iran asserts they have not had a substantial consequence.

Magic Solution Suggested

Tehran representatives stated they felt they had attained a "perfect agreement" to the uranium processing matter in previous talks, when it was settled an local partnership with US participation could refine atomic fuel. Each party would have been able to claim victory since home-based processing would have remained and the US could be confident that Iran's enrichment initiative was exclusively peaceful.

It had not been agreed in the talks that American atomic experts could function within Iranian territory, but that was a logical implication of the partnership suggestion. Diplomats claimed on multiple occasions they had achieved a deal with Trump's special envoy the US official only for the agreement to collapse due to "spoilers in Washington".

Existing Situation

Iranian officials stated the partnership proposal was now off the table, but it seems very probable the offer could be reintroduced in some form if discussions restart.

The American leader last week stated he had been getting signals that Iran wanted to restart talks, but in private Iran's diplomats claim they are not yet receiving coherent offers from Washington either straightforwardly or from important Middle Eastern intermediaries, such as Qatar, Egypt, Oman and the Saudi kingdom. The Tehran's diplomatic corps has been charged of non-responsiveness in the wake of Washington's unmediated tactics, but Iran asserts negotiations is not part of a spectacle.

Negotiating Standpoint

In his speech to the gathering, aimed to depict the US as a controlling nation that misuses the notion of global regulations, the foreign minister said the 12-day war demonstrated the clash could not be ended by combat operations. He said the attacks started with a American requirement for an total Iran submission and culminated with an complete request for a ceasefire.

Iran is convinced the opening assaults from Tel Aviv were mounted with full US knowledge and cooperation, making confidence hard to rebuild.

Negotiations Remains the Final Resolution

The foreign minister declared: "Tehran was not the one that had abandoned dialogue; it was America and the western countries that had consistently attempted to impose their demands during the negotiations. Diplomacy can still be alive and continues the ultimate solution to address disputes, but its criteria, rules and tenets must be respected."

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

Recovery and Recovery

In what is described by Tehran representatives as the struggle of restoration and rebuilding, the foreign minister stated he was confident Iran's defence capabilities "have significantly improved than before 13 or 14 June of this year. All our capabilities have been reestablished. We gained many lessons from this conflict; we have come to know our personal limitations and the vulnerabilities of the enemy."

He stated: "We effectively endured this war. Our enrichment knowledge, which they aimed to destroy, stays intact. The facilities and machinery, if eliminated, will be reconstructed; what is crucial is the will of the nation of Iran and then the unity of the country that they targeted, but did not succeed to break. The nation of Iran have become more powerful, more cohesive, and more backing of the leadership and the state in the face of this assault."
