Iran announced it will reconstruct its nuclear facilities that were damaged in Israeli and US missile strikes, asserting they will be rebuilt “stronger than before.” Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, during a visit to the country’s nuclear agency, emphasized that the destruction of buildings won’t hold them back, as Iranian scientists possess the essential nuclear expertise. He stated, “We will reconstruct these sites more resilient than they were prior,” and highlighted that the nation’s nuclear know-how remains intact. Previously, Pezeshkian had indicated that Iran would rebuild its nuclear facilities if they were assaulted.
In June, Israel launched an unprecedented bombing campaign against Iran, initiating a 12-day conflict that targeted nuclear and military sites, as well as civilian areas, resulting in the deaths of several leading scientists. Iran responded with ballistic missile strikes against Israeli cities.
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi noted in July that the damage Iran sustained was “serious and severe,” following the US announcement to cease hostilities. Meanwhile, Oman, traditionally acting as a mediator, urged the US and Iran on Saturday to resume negotiations. Badr Albusaidi, Oman’s foreign minister, expressed a desire to see the two nations return to diplomatic talks during a conference in Bahrain.
Iranian government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani stated on Sunday that Tehran has “received messages” about restarting diplomacy but did not specify further details. Oman has facilitated five rounds of US-Iran negotiations this year, although just days before the sixth round, Israel’s strikes against Iran’s nuclear infrastructure occurred. Subsequently, Iran faced the reinstatement of UN sanctions after Britain, Germany, and France triggered the “snapback” mechanism over Tehran’s alleged violations of the 2015 nuclear deal.
