AI Summary
Main Idea: Iran’s deputy foreign minister said Iran will not launch more retaliation against the United States, but it will keep enriching uranium and remains open to talks if Washington can rebuild trust.
Key Points:
- Majid Takht-Ravanchi said the U.S. strike caused serious damage to Iran’s nuclear program, but Iran will not respond again unless attacked first.
- He said Iran is willing to return to diplomacy, but only if the United States explains its actions and gives guarantees during future talks.
- Iran says it has the right to enrich uranium under the nuclear treaty and will keep doing so, while rejecting claims that it wants a bomb.
- The official declined to say where Iran’s highly enriched uranium may be, even after reports that it may have been moved before the strikes.
Impact on the People
Negative Impact
Ongoing uranium enrichment keeps the risk of a wider conflict or nuclear crisis alive, which could raise fuel prices and unsettle markets for US households and businesses.
Positive Impact
Iran saying it will not retaliate now may lower the chance of more immediate attacks and reduce near-term disruption for travelers, workers, and consumers.
