Iran's president says open to dialogue with US after Israel war
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has said he believes Tehran can resolve its differences with the United States through dialogue, but trust would be an issue after US and Israeli attacks on his country. 'I am of the belief that we could very much easily resolve our differences and conflicts with the United States through dialogue and talks,' Pezeshkian told US right-wing podcaster Tucker Carlson in an interview conducted on Saturday and released on Monday. His remarks came less than a month after Israel launched its unprecedented June 13 bombing campaign against Iran, killing top military commanders and nuclear scientists. The Israeli attacks took place two days before Tehran and Washington were set to meet for a new round of nuclear talks, stalling negotiations that were aimed at reaching a deal over Iran's atomic programme. A week later, in separate attacks on June 21, the US also bombed three Iranian nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan. Iranian state media said on Monday that the death toll from the 12-day war had risen to at least 1,060. Pezeshkian blamed Israel, Iran's archenemy, for the collapse of talks with the US. 'How are we going to trust the United States again?' he asked. 'How can we know for sure that in the middle of the talks, the Israeli regime will not be given the permission again to attack us?' Iran's president also accused Israel of attempting to assassinate him during the June attacks. 'They did try, yes. They acted accordingly, but they failed,' Pezeshkian told Carlson in response to a question on whether he believed Israel had tried to kill him. 'It was not the United States that was behind the attempt on my life. It was Israel. I was in a meeting … they tried to bombard the area in which we were holding that meeting,' he said, according to a translation of his remarks from Persian into English. On June 16, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also did not rule out plans to assassinate Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, saying it would 'end the conflict' after reports emerged at the time that US President Donald Trump had vetoed the move. While a ceasefire between Iran and Israel has been in place since June 24, during the interview with Carlson, Pezeshkian accused Netanyahu of pursuing his 'own agenda' of 'forever wars' in the Middle East and urged Trump not to be drawn into war with Iran by the Israeli leader. Netanyahu is visiting Washington on Monday for talks at the White House. 'The United States' president, Mr. Trump, he is capable enough to guide the region towards peace and a brighter future and put Israel in its place. Or get into a pit, an endless pit, or a swamp,' Pezeshkian said. 'So it is up to the United States president to choose which path.' Trump said he expected to discuss Iran and its nuclear ambitions with Netanyahu, praising the US strikes on Iranian nuclear sites as a tremendous success. On Friday, he told reporters that he believed Tehran's nuclear programme had been set back permanently, although Iran could restart efforts elsewhere.
