“In order for us to decide to reengage, we will have to first ensure that America will not revert back to targeting us in a military attack during the negotiations,” Araghchi added. “And I think with all these considerations, we still need more time.”
Speaking to a US outlet for the first time since a ceasefire with Israel halted 12 days of war as Jerusalem aimed to dismantle Iran’s nuclear program, Araghchi claimed that the campaign, which included the destruction of centrifuge facilities and assassination of nuclear scientists, did not achieve its goal.
