ISLAMABAD (Monitoring Desk);Iran has indicated a willingness to resume dialogue with the United States, but only under stringent conditions following recent attacks on its nuclear facilities by Israel and the U.S.
The already fragile diplomatic efforts suffered a serious blow when the sixth round of indirect talks, planned for June 15 in Oman, was abruptly canceled two days prior.
This came after Israel launched airstrikes targeting Iranian nuclear sites and key military figures — an escalation Tehran has labeled a declaration of war.
Speaking in an interview, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi strongly condemned the strikes, calling them blatant violations of international law.
He argued it was Washington that walked away from the negotiating table and chose to resort to force.
Despite these setbacks, Araghchi reaffirmed Tehran’s commitment to diplomacy. However, he stressed that any fresh negotiations would only move forward if anchored in accountability, mutual respect, and crucially, firm guarantees against future attacks on Iran.
He also noted that even amid heightened tensions, diplomatic communication continues through intermediaries.
Iran’s position underscores both its wariness of U.S. intentions and its insistence that any revived talks must come with assurances that protect its sovereignty and security interests.
