Iran is open to talking about its nuclear program again, but there's a catch. The country's foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, said Iran would only return to the negotiating table if the U. S. and its allies promised no more attacks. This comes after recent strikes on Iran's nuclear and military sites.

The attacks have made things complicated. Iran has stopped working with the U. N. nuclear watchdog, and inspectors have left. Now, Iran says it will only cooperate with the agency if it's in Iran's best interest and if the inspections are safe.

Iran also insists on continuing to enrich uranium, something the U. S. has strongly opposed. Meanwhile, Israel claims it attacked Iran to prevent it from getting a nuclear weapon. But experts say Iran hasn't had an organized nuclear weapons program since 2003.

The recent U. S. airstrikes caused significant damage to Iran's nuclear facilities. The damage is so bad that Iran still can't assess it. This raises questions about the future of nuclear talks and the trust between the countries involved.
