Iran Ready to Rejoin Nuclear Talks if Treated with 'Dignity and Respect'
Tehran has signaled that it is open to restarting nuclear talks with Washington, but only on condition that Iran is treated with "dignity and respect". This was revealed by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi during a recent security conference in Tehran.
Araghchi emphasized that diplomacy remains the key to resolving disputes and that Iran's participation in negotiations should not be viewed as an act of weakness. He claimed that the country has emerged stronger militarily and psychologically from the recent Israeli-US attack on its nuclear sites, which brought previous talks to a halt.
The US had attacked Iranian nuclear sites in June, following five rounds of failed talks between the two countries. The attacks were followed by European sanctions, but Iran claims they have had limited impact.
Iranian officials believe that a "magic solution" was reached during the talks, involving an Iran-based consortium with American involvement to enrich uranium. However, this proposal is now off the table, and it appears likely that some form of revival could occur if talks reopen.
Despite Trump's recent claims that Iran wants to reopen negotiations, Iranian officials say they are not receiving coherent offers from Washington or regional mediators such as Qatar, Egypt, Oman, and Saudi Arabia. Araghchi attributed this to the US approach being "hegemonic" and using international law to impose its will.
The attacks on Iranian nuclear sites were seen as a failed attempt to use military force to end the conflict, with Araghchi claiming that Iran was not the one who had fled diplomacy, but rather the US and western countries. He emphasized the importance of adhering to rules and principles in diplomacy and said that if the US speaks to the Iranian people with "dignity and respect", they will receive a response in the same language.
Araghchi also claimed that Iran's defense capabilities have been strengthened since the attacks, and that the country has learned lessons from the war. He emphasized the importance of national cohesion and the support of the Iranian people for the government and state.

, right? And now they're sayin' they'll rejoin nuclear talks if treated with dignity and respect 
. I feel 'em, you know? Iran's got every right to be salty about that attack. But at the same time, it's all about findin' a way forward 
. If the US is willin' to sit down and talk, maybe we can actually make some progress 
. It's all about respect, like Araghchi said 
. And Iran's not just gonna roll over, they're comin' from a place of strength 
. I'm keepin' an eye on this one 
I totally get where Iran is coming from they wanna be treated with respect like everyone else in the world 
diplomacy 4 real 
they're not asking for much, just some respect 
and a chance to talk things out. but the us is being super harsh 
and it's making iran even more paranoid 
. i think they should be open to listening to each other, you know? 
we can't just throw our hands up in the air and expect everything to magically work out 
.
! I think it's awesome that Iran is holding out for some dignity and respect in these negotiations - we should all be advocating for that, right? 
I'm curious to see if a magic solution is really on the table this time around - an Iran-based consortium with American involvement sounds like an interesting idea! 
. So yeah, if the US wants Iran to come back to the table, they're going to need to bring their A-game - dignity, respect, and all that jazz 
they're like the biggest players in the middle east already lol but seriously, if they can just have some respect & dignity shown to them, maybe they'll listen to what washington has to say 
And Araghchi makes some good points about diplomacy being key and all that jazz... 
And it's not like they're the ones who were attacking anyone... 
it's also pretty interesting that they're bringing up the whole "magic solution" thing again... might just be a case of Iran trying to get something for nothing. And what's up with Trump's claims that Iran wants to reopen negotiations? Sounds like he's just making stuff up as he goes along 
. Like, what even is dignity and respect in this case? 
It's not about being treated with dignity and respect, it's about respecting Iran's sovereignty and stopping their military aggression. 
I mean, Trump thinks he can just tweet whatever he wants and Iran will be all smiles again? 
like what even is the point of having talks if you're just gonna attack each other's sites in the first place? Iran's got some serious nerve wanting "dignity and respect" from the US after they're the ones who started the whole thing 
The fact that Iran's got stronger military capabilities now doesn't change the fact that they still want to talk it out, but I guess we'll see if the US can actually put down its guns and have a respectful conversation for once 
. I mean, it's great that they're open to diplomacy, but can you imagine how tough those talks must be? It feels like we're living in a spy novel or something! 
Anyway, if the US can just show some respect and dignity towards Iran, maybe they'll come up with a solution that benefits everyone 
. I've been thinking about this nonstop since my calculus test last week... did you know that solving for x can be kinda like navigating international politics? 
meanwhile i dont think washingtons got much to offer other than some empty promises, plus i think trumps claims about iran wanting to reopen talks are total BS 
. No more 'magic solutions' or 'hegemonic' approaches
