Iran is willing to resume nuclear talks with the United States if they are conducted respectfully, a senior Iranian official told CNN, while insisting Tehran will not move from the position it held before the US and Israel attacked it in June.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Sunday that Tehran is willing to restart nuclear pact talks with the United States, provided they are conducted with ‘dignity and respect’

Iran willing to restart negotiations on nuclear weapons, so long as the US meets preconditions, CNN report says.

Following U.S. strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites, Iran has accelerated construction of a heavily fortified underground complex near Natanz, shifting its nuclear strategy toward secrecy and survival.

With no negotiations, no oversight and no clarity about Iran’s stock of nuclear material, many in the region fear another war with Israel is inevitable.

Europe's top three powers and the U.S. have submitted a draft resolution to this week's meeting of the U.N. atomic watchdog's 35-nation Board of Governors demanding answers and access from Iran over its bombed nuclear sites and enriched uranium stock.

Abbas Araghchi emphasized Iran's undeniable right to peaceful nuclear technology and criticized the US for its maximalist demands, hindering dialogue.

The trips were part of a series of exchanges between Russian military research institutes and Iran’s Organization of Defensive Innovation and Research (SPND), which is linked to Iran’s military and has been accused by Washington of directing Tehran’s nuclear weapons research.
