Since June 10, a few days before Israel's attack, inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) no longer have access to Iranian nuclear facilities. Due to Israel's bombardment, the negotiations on the nuclear energy program between the USA and Iran were also concluded.
The IAEA's chief Rafael Grossi has requested to inspect the bombed facilities. But it indicates "evil intentions", writes Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on X and accuses Grossi of having paved the way for the bombings by questioning an Iranian report on the nuclear program.
"Speculations"
Araghchi dismisses what he calls "speculations" that the country is ready to resume negotiations with the USA and that they "should not be taken seriously”.
I want to clearly say that no agreement, arrangement or conversation has been made to start new negotiations, he says on state television.
The statement comes after Donald Trump said that talks will be held next week. According to sources for CNN, unofficial talks have been going on to get Iran to the negotiating table.
Can bomb again
During a press conference on Friday, Trump repeated the claim that Iran wants to meet to continue the talks. But Trump can also imagine bombing Iran again if last week's bombing attack did not succeed in putting an end to Iran's nuclear ambitions.
Without a doubt, absolutely, he said.
Trump writes on his platform Truth Social that he prevented Israel from killing Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
"I saved him from a very ugly and humiliating death", Trump writes. He adds that he has ended the work on easing sanctions against Iran.
