Iran has always been, and will be, "ready for talks" on its nuclear program, Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi said on Saturday. Tehran's cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has not stopped and has only taken on a new form, he said, adding that from now on, Iran's relations with the IAEA will be managed through the country's Supreme National Security Council, which will decide about future cooperation with the IAEA after considering security and safety issues. It should naturally be guaranteed that in case the negotiation starts again, it will not lead to a war to be waged by the United States or other parties, Araghchi noted at a meeting with foreign ambassadors and representatives. The recent Israel-Iran fighting proved that there is no other alternative but to return to diplomacy and a negotiated and agreed solution, Araghchi stated. The United States "betrayed diplomacy and the negotiating table" by assisting Israel in attacking Iran and by directly targeting Iranian nuclear facilities afterward, he said. If the United States seeks to resume the negotiation, it must guarantee that the same scenario will not unfold again, he said. In any negotiation, the nuclear rights of the Iranian people, including the domestic enrichment of uranium, should be respected, he said, stressing that any potential negotiation should solely focus on Iran's nuclear program, and its military capabilities will be non-negotiable. Israel launched a series of major airstrikes on June 13 targeting nuclear and military sites across Iran, killing senior commanders, nuclear scientists, and civilians, and injuring many others, according to Iranian authorities. Iran retaliated with multiple waves of missile and drone attacks on Israeli territory, causing casualties and damage. A ceasefire between the two countries was reached on June 24, ending 12 days of fighting. On July 1, Iran enacted a law on suspending cooperation with the IAEA and channeled its future cooperation with the agency through Iran's Supreme National Security Council instead of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization.
