In an interview with Fox News on Monday, Araghchi stated that it is clear Iran will not "give up enrichment because it is an achievement of our own scientists" and a source of national pride.
When asked whether any enriched uranium had been preserved from the American strikes, Araghchi said he had "no detailed information," but noted that Iran's Atomic Energy Organization is "trying to evaluate what has exactly happened to our nuclear material, to our enriched material."
US President Donald Trump has repeatedly described the strikes as a success, reaffirming on Saturday that all three targeted sites were "completely destroyed."
Regarding talks with the United States, Araghchi indicated that Tehran is open to discussions but has no plans for direct negotiations with Washington at this time.
He pointed out that Iran is willing to undertake any confidence-building measures necessary to demonstrate that its nuclear program is peaceful, in exchange for the lifting of US sanctions.
"We are ready to do any confidence-building measures needed to prove that Iran's nuclear program is peaceful" in exchange for lifted US sanctions, he added, while stressing that any future nuclear agreement must include the right to enrichment.
On June 13, Israel launched a blatant and unprovoked act of aggression against Iran, assassinating numerous high-ranking military commanders, nuclear scientists, and ordinary civilians.
More than a week later, the United States joined the conflict by bombing three Iranian nuclear sites, an action which constitutes a grave violation of the United Nations Charter, international law, and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
In response, the Iranian Armed Forces targeted strategic sites across the occupied territories, as well as the Al-Udeid air base in Qatar, the largest US military base in West Asia.
On June 24, through successful retaliatory operations against both the Israeli regime and the US, Iran managed to halt the illegal assault.
