Iran Demands US Accountability After Nuclear Site Attacks

Iran has announced it will hold the United States accountable for recent attacks on its nuclear facilities during any future negotiations, while still ruling out direct talks with Washington. The strikes, which took place during a 12-day conflict in June and involved U.S. and Israeli forces, led Tehran to suspend nuclear talks and halt cooperation with UN nuclear inspectors. Iranian officials insist that accountability and compensation for the attacks remain central to any renewed discussions, though the U.S. has dismissed these demands. Amid ongoing sanctions, Iran asserts it continues its economic activities, including oil exports, and will not base its economic strategy on the outcome of nuclear talks. The situation remains tense under a fragile ceasefire, with risks of renewed conflict. Despite disagreements, Iran says it remains committed to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty but continues to criticize the International Atomic Energy Agency for a politicized approach.
