Iran says it can restart uranium enrichment despite US, Israeli strikes

The Foreign Minister of Tehran claimed that Iran still has capabilities to enrich uranium – despite American and Israeli strikes – and can restart its nuclear program if it wants.

While the United States struck three major Iranian nuclear sites, Israel destroyed many of its air defenses, took senior military leaders and killed at least 13 nuclear scientists and more than 1,000 people, according to Turan figures. Israel claims to have killed 30 senior security officials and 11 senior nuclear scientists.

“The buildings can be rebuilt. Machinery can be replaced, because technology is present. We have many scientists and technicians who used to work in our facilities,” Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi said in an interview with him recently with the Financial Times.

“But when and how to re -enrich us depend on the circumstances.”

Iran will not give up nuclear enrichment, as the highest officials assert in the exclusive Fox News interview

Washington confirms that it has caused significant damage to two major locations in Iran, Fordo and Natanz, and missiles launched that made the ISFAHAN facility not mainly operating, restoring the Iranian nuclear program “years”.

Now, he is watching the world to find out whether Iran and the West will be able to reach a deal that guarantees Iran not working on a nuclear weapon in exchange for the reduction of sanctions.

Araghchi said that the United States must provide money to Iran to compensate for last month’s strikes in order to move forward in negotiations.

“They must explain why they attacked us in the middle of the negotiations, and they should make sure they will not repeat this [during future talks]Aragici said. Compensate [Iran for] The damage they did. “

Araghchi claimed the so -called 12 -day war “proved that there is no military solution to the Iranian nuclear program.”

Aragchchi also said that the strikes had pushed calls from within the regime to arm the Iranian nuclear program, but claimed that Iran would continue to adhere to two decades -old latta prohibiting the production of nuclear weapons.

“Feelings of fighting negotiation are very high,” said Aragchchi. People tell me, “don’t waste your time anymore, don’t deceive them. If they come to negotiations, this is just a coverage of their other intentions. “

The minister has repeated Iran’s insistence that he would not abandon his ability to enrich uranium for civil purposes – attached to Washington. “With zero enrichment, we have nothing.”

Iranian nuclear capabilities are crushed, but the regime’s desire for the bomb may continue

The White House cannot be reached immediately to comment on Araghchi’s comments.

Israeli officials admitted that some Iranian stocks of highly enriched uranium had survived the attacks.

None of the current members of the 2015 nuclear deal, and the joint comprehensive work plan – France, the United Kingdom, Germany, China and Russia – can call a Snapback mechanism if they decide that Iran did not suspend the end of the deal. The United States cannot lead to sanctions because it withdrew from the deal and the age of unilateral “maximum” penalties under the first Trump administration.

The United States chanted more pressure on Tehran this week with new sanctions on the country’s oil network and military drone.

European diplomats meet with Iran to transfer how it can avoid Snapback sanctions, including the resumption of cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to monitor its compliance with the nuclear borders.

Aragici said that Iran would stop negotiating with Europe if it would perform sanctions. “If they go back, this means that this is the end of the road for them.”
