Abbas Araghchi, head of Iran’s Foreign Ministry, once again rejected the possibility of nuclear negotiations with the US, emphasizing that Tehran will continue uranium enrichment. However, the possibility of indirect negotiations is not excluded.
Nuclear Program and Diplomacy
Araghchi stated that Iran will not discuss its missile program. “No rational actor will disarm,” he noted. Uranium enrichment will continue, as “what cannot be achieved by war cannot be achieved by politics.”
Indirect negotiations may help alleviate concerns about Iran’s nuclear program. However, according to Araghchi, the conditions proposed by Washington are unacceptable.
Consequences of the Air War
In June, the US and Israel struck Iranian nuclear facilities. Despite Donald Trump’s statements, IAEA Director Rafael Grossi believes that most of the enriched uranium reserves survived.
Technology and Destruction
Araghchi claims that nuclear materials remain under the ruins, and technologies continue to exist. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei rejected Trump’s proposal to resume negotiations, refuting claims of the destruction of nuclear potential.
Analytical Perspectives
Experts have not reached a consensus on the scale of the damage. The question of whether the peak of geopolitical confrontation has ended or if this is just an episode in a tough scenario remains open.
Iran continues to balance between healing wounds and preparing for new challenges. Time will tell which path Tehran will choose.
