In June, Israel had launched an unprecedented offensive against Iran and in particular its nuclear infrastructure. The United States intervened by bombing Iranian nuclear sites.
“In the event of potential negotiations (…) One of the subjects on the agenda will concern the need to account for the United States and to claim compensation for military aggression against peaceful nuclear installations of Iran,” the spokesman for Iranian diplomacy, Esmaïl Baghaï told the press.
Asked about the possibility of direct talks, he replied: “No”.
Washington had already described as “ridiculous” the demand for compensation expected by Tehran.
Israel launched his attack on Iran on June 13, where he bombed for several days military sites, nuclear and inhabited areas, killing more than 1000 people.
Iranian reprisals against Israel killed 29 people.
Tehran and Washington were engaged in negotiations with a view to concluding a new agreement on the Iranian nuclear program when Israel has launched its offensive, with the stated objective of preventing its enemy from acquiring the atomic bomb.
Tehran has always denied having such ambitions.
After the war, Iran had officially suspended any cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (AIEA), believing that this UN agency had a share of responsibility in the outbreak of Israeli strikes.
Baghai said on Monday that Iran was committed by the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (TNP), while criticizing “the politicized and non-professional approach of the IAEA.
The agency’s assistant director is expected in Iran “in less than ten days,” said the spokesperson. His country said he had been ready in July to resume cooperation with the IAEA in “a new form”.
Faced with the Iranium enrichment policy of Uranium, Western countries threaten Tehran to activate a mechanism for reimposing international sanctions.
The head of the Iranian Parliament on National Security Commission, Ebrahim Azizi, said on Monday that the expected delegation of the IAEA “would be strictly and exclusively authorized to conduct technical discussions and at the level of experts with Iranian officials and experts”.
“In no way will access to Iran nuclear installations be allowed and no inspection by this delegation or any other foreign entity will be authorized on the country’s nuclear sites,” said this parliamentarian, quoted by the Tasnim agency.
