Iran Says Any Future Talks Should Hold US Accountable for Nuclear Site Attacks
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei stated that any future talks should hold the United States accountable for its attacks on Iran's nuclear sites, according to AFP. Israel, US Attacks on Iranian Nuclear Sites On June 13, Israel launched a wave of airstrikes on Iran under the name of Operation Rising Lion. The military campaign targeted Iran's nuclear facilities and killed top military commanders and nuclear scientists. The US became directly involved in the conflict between Israel and Iran on June 22 after launching airstrikes on Iran's nuclear facilities in Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan. 'In any potential negotiation… the issue of holding the United States accountable and demanding compensation for committing military aggression against Iran's peaceful nuclear facilities will be one of the topics on the agenda,' Baqaei told a press briefing on Monday. When asked about the possibility of engaging in direct talks with the US, Baqaei answered: 'No.' Nuclear Talks In July, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi stated that Tehran would restart nuclear talks with the US if there were assurances of no more attacks against Iran, according to The Associated Press. Araqchi also noted that Iran has always been ready and will be ready in the future for talks about its nuclear program. However, 'assurance should be provided that in case of a resumption of talks, the trend will not lead to war.' Araqchi stated that Tehran intends to collaborate with the UN nuclear watchdog, but this cooperation would take on new form and would be guided and managed through the Supreme National Security Council, according to Reuters. He also mentioned that that access to Iranian Nuclear sites bombed by Israel and the US posed security and safety issues. According to the new law, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) should have approval by the Supreme National Security Council for any future inspection of Iran's nuclear sites. In a speech to Tehran-based foreign diplomats, Araqchi emphasized Iran's need to resume uranium enrichment on its soil.
