ALBAWABA - Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi expressed his country's basic willingness to resume nuclear negotiations with the United States, although he called on US President Donald Trump to tone down his rhetoric.

In a post on the social media platform X, Araghchi said, "If President Trump is sincere in his desire to reach an agreement, he must put aside his disrespectful and unacceptable tone toward Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and stop harming millions of his loyal followers."

Trump stated at a recent summit that new talks with Iran would be held next week, but he did not provide any details.

A sixth round of US-Iran talks scheduled for Amman on June 15 was cancelled after Israeli strikes on Iranian targets two days earlier.

Amid the exchange of attacks between Iran and Israel, US forces bombed key Iranian nuclear sites.

In statements to Iranian state television, Araghchi confirmed for the first time that the attacks caused "significant" damage to Iran's nuclear infrastructure.
