Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi affirmed that Iran is prepared to resume diplomatic efforts, but only once the aggression ceases and "Israel" is held accountable for its actions.

After meeting with the European "Troika" (France, Britain, and Germany), Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi emphasized that Iran will keep exercising its legitimate right to defend itself while voicing concern over the failure to condemn Israeli attacks.

Araghchi emphasized that Iran’s defensive capabilities are non-negotiable, reaffirming that the country’s nuclear program is peaceful and under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

He further stressed that Iran’s program is entirely civilian and fully complies with safeguard agreements, adding that any attack on it would violate these agreements and international law.

The Iranian Foreign Minister expressed his support for continuing discussions with the E3 (France, Germany, and the UK) and readiness to meet again in the future, while making clear that Iran is prepared to return to the diplomatic path, but only once aggression ceases and the occupying force is held accountable for its actions.
