Nuclear talks between Iran and the US will not resume unless the US ends military threats, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told CBS News, Mehr reports.

“To decide whether to resume talks, we must first ensure that Washington will not again exploit the talks for military aggression,” Araghchi said.

According to the Iranian FM, “The doors of diplomacy will never be closed.”

Elsewhere in his remarks, the top Iranian diplomat underlined that enrichment is an advanced, science-based industry.

“If this industry is damaged or destroyed, we [i.e. Iran] can quickly repair the damage and overcome the setbacks to make progress in this industry again. Enrichment technology and knowledge cannot be destroyed by bombing. Our country's peaceful nuclear program has become a source of national pride and dignity," Abbas Araghchi said.

Also, he stressed that Iran has gone through 12 days of imposed war; therefore, the Iranian nation will not easily back down from uranium enrichment.

"During the war, we [i.e. Iran] demonstrated our strength and will to defend ourselves, and we will continue to do so in the event of any aggression," the Iranian FM added.
