Iran's foreign minister said the US is trying to revive nuclear talks with Tehran while stressing that his country is in no hurry to resume negotiations."The Americans insist on returning to the negotiating table," Abbas Araghchi said in televised remarks Saturday, adding that Iran has received "multiple messages."
Tehran is weighing its options regarding the timing, location, and structure of potential talks, but is "in no rush to enter into reckless negotiations.
"Araghchi served as lead negotiator in Oman-mediated talks with the US, which collapsed after Israel launched a surprise attack on Iran's nuclear sites on June 13. The strikes killed several top military and nuclear officials, and hit densely populated urban areas as well as Tehran's Evin Prison.Araghchi's remarks follow US President Donald Trump's Monday dinner with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, where he said he was open to lifting sanctions on Iran. His special envoy, Steve Witkoff, who led the US delegation in the earlier talks, said a meeting with Iran was expected within the week.Araghchi also said Iran needs guarantees it won't be attacked again if the talks don't succeed.
