🇮🇷❌🇺🇸 Iran not sure it can trust America after Israeli attack, Iran’s foreign minister tells NBC News

Iran will never agree to halt all uranium enrichment and Israel must stop its air campaign before any negotiations with the U.S. can proceed, the Iranian foreign minister said.

“So they had perhaps this plan in their mind, and they just needed negotiations perhaps to cover it up,” Araghchi said. “We don’t know how we can trust them anymore. What they did was, in fact, a betrayal to diplomacy.”

“We’re not prepared to negotiate with them anymore, as long as the aggression continues,” he said.

Araghchi said Iran would not give up uranium enrichment as Trump has demanded, and he said he had made that clear to U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff.

“I told him several times zero enrichment is impossible,” he said.

Every country has the right to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes, Araghchi said.

“This is an achievement of our own scientists. It’s a question of national pride and dignity,” he said.

As for Witkoff, Araghchi said he appeared unable to deliver on what had been discussed in previous meetings.

He added, “There is a lack of confidence now between us because he didn’t deliver his promises and what he told us that we can do.”

He and Witkoff do continue to communicate, though, he said.

“There are some direct messages, some indirect messages we’re exchanging,” Araghchi said. “And we have explained each other’s positions to each other in order to prevent misunderstandings.”

He added that “doesn’t mean negotiation. They have asked us to negotiate, but we negotiate only when it is negotiation and not dictation.”

Araghchi also said the bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities could not destroy the technical “knowledge” Iran has developed in its nuclear program.

“Suppose they destroy one facility or two,” he said. “We can rebuild them, because the knowledge is here, the technology is there. We have achieved that ourselves, and the technology cannot be reversed, cannot be destroyed by bombs.”
