Iran will not return to nuclear negotiations unless the United States agrees to provide compensation for damages sustained during last month’s war, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told the Financial Times.

“They should explain why they attacked us in the middle of… negotiations, and they have to ensure that they are not going to repeat that,” Araghchi said in an interview published on Thursday.

The official added that the US must take responsibility for striking Iran during ongoing diplomatic exchanges and that talks cannot resume without financial redress.
