DID Press: Iranian Foreign Minister Sayed Abbas Araqchi announced that a return to nuclear talks will only be possible if US gives compensation and security guarantees.

In a conversation with US Special Representative Steve Witkoff, Sayed Abbas Araqchi wanted an explanation from Washington about the attack on Iran during the recent 12-day war and emphasized: “The US must compensate for the damages and guarantee that such actions will not be repeated.”
