Iran’s Vows to Rebuild its Nuclear Facilities with ‘Greater Strength’
TEHRAN, Iran: Iran's foreign minister has said that Tehran would neither halt uranium enrichment nor negotiate over its missile programme, warning that any new Israeli attack would trigger “serious consequences”. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told Al Jazeera that Iran had “effectively managed” the June war with Israel and prevented it from escalating across the region. “Iran is fully prepared for any new confrontation,” Araghchi said, adding that Israel would face “another defeat” if hostilities resumed. He confirmed that some Iranian nuclear sites had been damaged during the war but said the country’s enrichment technology remained intact. “The nuclear materials are still at the bombed facilities, and our programme continues without interruption,” he said. No concessions on missile programme Araghchi ruled out any negotiations over Iran’s ballistic missile programme and said Western pressure would not make Tehran compromise. “Iran will not accept coercion,” he said. “We are ready for indirect talks with Washington to reach a fair agreement on the nuclear programme, but we will not make concessions after being attacked.” The minister said Iran was willing to address international concerns through dialogue but insisted that the country’s nuclear activities were entirely peaceful. Egypt urges Iran–IAEA cooperation His comments came a day after Egypt said it had called on Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to end their standoff over inspections of bombed nuclear sites. Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty said he had conveyed the message to both Araghchi and IAEA chief Rafael Grossi in separate phone calls, aimed at reviving cooperation between Tehran and the UN nuclear watchdog. Iran suspended full cooperation with the IAEA following the June war with Israel and the United States, during which several of its nuclear facilities were hit. Under a post-war law, any IAEA inspection now requires approval from Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, while access to damaged facilities is prohibited. Western governments have accused Tehran of concealing possible military dimensions to its nuclear programme, a charge Iran denies, saying its activities are for civilian purposes such as energy and medicine. Tensions between Tehran and Washington have deepened following US President Donald Trump’s decision to authorise the first American nuclear weapons tests in more than three decades. Araghchi condemned the move as “regressive and irresponsible”, calling it evidence of “US hypocrisy” for criticising Iran’s nuclear activities while resuming its own nuclear testing. “Iran will not be intimidated by double standards,” Araghchi said. “The era of pressure and threats is over.”
