Araghchi: Enrichment technology and knowledge cannot be destroyed by bombardment

Seyyed Abbas Araghchi, the Foreign Minister, in an interview with CBS, emphasized that Iran's peaceful nuclear activities are a source of national pride and honor.

Regarding indirect talks between Iran and the United States, the Foreign Minister said: To decide on resuming negotiations, we must first ensure that Washington will not target us with military attacks during the talks.

He stressed: The doors of diplomacy will never be closed.

Araghchi, noting that enrichment is an advanced, science-based industry, stated: If this industry is damaged or destroyed, we can quickly recover the losses and address setbacks to progress again in this industry; enrichment technology and knowledge cannot be eliminated by bombardment.

The head of the diplomatic apparatus also said: Our country’s peaceful nuclear program has become a source of national pride and honor; we have endured 12 days of war imposed on us, so the people will not easily retreat from enrichment.

Araghchi emphasized: We demonstrated our capability and determination to defend ourselves during the war, and we will continue this approach in the face of any aggression.
