In the aftermath of the 12-day war between Israel and Iran, President Donald Trump said Friday he wants Iran to open itself to international inspection to confirm it doesn’t restart its nuclear program.
According to Newsmax, Trump was asked during a White House press conference if he would request during expected talks with Iran that the International Atomic Energy Agency or some other organization be allowed to manage inspections, Trump responded the Islamic Republic would have to cooperate with the group “or somebody that we respect, including ourselves.”
But Iran’s top diplomat said the likelihood of new deals with the United States about his country’s nuclear program has been “complicated” by the American attack on three of the sites, which he admitted caused “serious damage.”
In 2015, Iran agreed to limit its uranium enrichment program in exchange for relief sanctions and other benefits. The U.S. was one of the parties to that nuclear deal.
But the deal became undone after President Trump pulled the U.S. out unilaterally during his first term. Trump said he is interested in new talks with Iran and added the two sides would meet next week.
On Thursday, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi left open the likelihood that Iran would again enter talks on its nuclear program, but suggested it would not be anytime soon. “No agreement has been made for resuming the negotiations,” he said. “No time has been set, no promise has been made, and we haven’t even talked about restarting the talks.”
The American decision to intervene militarily “made it more complicated and more difficult” for talks on Iran’s nuclear program, Araghchi said, according to Newsmax.
