Iran is willing to resume atomic discussions with Washington on condition that it is treated with "dignity" and "respect", Iran's top diplomat has announced.

The Iranian diplomat said solely negotiations was effective, and disclosed new appeals had originated from go-betweens to resume negotiations with the Trump administration. He said Iran did not have undeclared nuclear sites, and Tehran had not yet reached a point to authorize the UN nuclear inspectorate to inspect bombed nuclear sites for safety concerns.

Navigating a Difficult Route

Araghchi is treading a difficult path since Iran does not want be seen to be proceeding from a stance of disadvantage, and he insisted repeatedly that Iran had arisen more resilient in military terms and psychologically from the joint assault on its nuclear sites in June.

He was talking at a strategic meeting in Tehran where he restated that Iran had "an inalienable right to process nuclear material on home soil that it will always maintain" – the main reason of the impasse in the prior discussions.

Previous Negotiations Suddenly Ended

The previous five rounds of talks between the US and Iran were ended suddenly and hostile conclusion on 12 June when the Israeli government, with American backing, targeted Tehran's atomic facilities in a fortnight-long engagement that culminated with the US president claiming the sites had been destroyed. Subsequently, Western states exercised their right to restore UN-wide sanctions, but Iran insists they have not had a major impact.

Magic Solution Suggested

Tehran representatives claimed they felt they had reached a "perfect agreement" to the uranium processing matter in earlier negotiations, when it was settled an domestic cooperative with American involvement could process nuclear material. Both sides would have been able to claim victory since home-based processing would have continued and the US could be assured that Iran's atomic project was exclusively peaceful.

It had not been agreed in the discussions that US nuclear scientists could operate inside Iran, but that was a reasonable assumption of the consortium proposal. Officials claimed repeatedly they had achieved a deal with the US representative the American negotiator only for the agreement to disintegrate due to "detractors in America".

Present Situation

Iran's diplomats stated the consortium offer was now withdrawn, but it seems very probable the proposal could be resurrected in some form if talks resume.

Trump last week claimed he had been getting signals that Iran desired to restart talks, but confidentially Tehran representatives say they are not yet getting coherent offers from the United States either explicitly or from key regional mediators, such as the Qatari government, Egypt, the Omani authorities and the Saudi kingdom. The Iran's state department has been criticized of inactivity in the face of Trump's direct instinctive approach, but Iran asserts dialogue is not part of a show.

Diplomatic Stance

In his address to the gathering, designed to paint the US as a dominant force that exploits the concept of global regulations, Araghchi said the 12-day war demonstrated the conflict could not be settled by combat operations. He asserted the assaults commenced with a Washington's ultimatum for an unconditional Iranian surrender and ended with an absolute demand for a halt to hostilities.

Iran is assured the first strikes by Israel were mounted with full US knowledge and coordination, making confidence challenging to reestablish.

Diplomacy Stays the Final Solution

The foreign minister said: "Tehran was not the one that had deserted dialogue; it was America and the European states that had always attempted to enforce their desires during the talks. Dialogue can still be active and stays the final answer to resolve disagreements, but its standards, regulations and fundamentals must be respected."

"Provided that they address to the Iranian people with the approach of respect and respect, they will get a response in the identical language."

Recovery and Rebuilding

In what is characterized by Iranian officials as the battle of restoration and rebuilding, Araghchi claimed he was certain Iran's defence capabilities "have significantly improved than prior to 13 or 14 June of this year. Our entire military infrastructure have been rebuilt. We acquired many lessons from this war; we have come to know our own weaknesses and the shortcomings of the opponent."

He added: "We effectively endured this engagement. Our atomic expertise, which they intended to destroy, continues to exist. The sites and machinery, if destroyed, will be reconstructed; what is essential is the will of the citizens of Tehran and then the unity of the country that they sought to undermine, but were unable to destroy. The nation of Iran have become more powerful, more integrated, and more endorsing of the administration and the nation in the face of this assault."
