Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that his country would resume nuclear talks with the U.S. only if there are guarantees against future attacks. Araghchi cited recent Israeli and U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites as reasons for needing such assurances. Following the attacks, Iran suspended cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog and will now address requests on a case-by-case basis, prioritizing Iran's security. Iran also insists on continuing uranium enrichment, a point of contention with the U.S. The damage to Iranian nuclear facilities from the strikes remains extensive, hindering assessments.
