Israel Iran News Live Updates: Iranian foreign minister Araghchi downplays quick resumption of US-Iran talks
Israel Iran News Live Updates: Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi on Monday dismissed the possibility of swiftly resuming nuclear talks with the United States, insisting that Tehran first needs firm guarantees that it won't be targeted again militarily.
In an interview with CBS Evening News, Araghchi responded to US President Donald Trump's suggestion that talks could restart as early as this week. 'I don't think negotiations will restart as quickly as that,' he said.
'For us to even consider reengaging, we need to be assured that America will not attack us during the talks,' Araghchi added. 'Given all the current factors, more time is needed.' Still, he emphasized, 'the doors of diplomacy will never slam shut.'
When asked about recent remarks by the head of the UN's nuclear watchdog suggesting Iran could resume enriching uranium within months, Araghchi said the know-how remains intact. 'You cannot bomb away nuclear science,' he said. 'If we choose to, we can quickly rebuild and regain lost ground.'
Araghchi also warned that Tehran was prepared for further conflict. 'We demonstrated during this 12-day imposed war that we can defend ourselves,' he said. 'We will continue to do so if attacked again.'

Big blow to Israel as it leaves jackpot in Iran, now Khamenei's team will use it, bad news for Netanyahu due to… Reverse engineering is a way of copying the best product and making a new one. By Tahir Qureshi Edited by Tahir Qureshi Advertisement New Delhi: Israel launched big attacks on Iran during the 12-day war and left behind a 'big treasure' for Tehran. It is not a real treasure but most sophisticated military hardware of the highest quality. What is the Israeli treasure? Actually, Israel has left behind hundreds of its state-of-the-art drones in Iran, which Iran is now reverse engineering. Yedioth Ahronoth, citing sources in the Israeli Defense Ministry, said that drones worth several hundred million dollars have been seized by the Iranian authorities and now Iran is studying them. This development has left Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with big tension. Advertisement === What is reverse engineering? It is speculated that Iran will reverse engineer these drones. Reverse engineering is the process in which a thing is divided into many parts and research is done on each part. How it has been made, what things have been used, what is its design and how has its structure been prepared? It has many phases. First, electronic data is collected by opening the drone or scanning its components. For example, information is collected about how its firmware, radar and sensors take information. Then scientists do research on them. They do a long study on its processor, motors, communication chips, camera and airframe material etc. After this, a digital copy of the drone is made in a system called CAD software and its strength is tested through simulation, how it has been prepared that its strength has increased manifold. Then its products are made. Like the production of engines, fans, control software etc. begins. Not only this, but many times also even better products are made. Simply put, reverse engineering is a way of copying the best product and making a new one. Neither license is required in this nor there is any problem. Advertisement === Which drones did Israel launch? According to reports, Israel launched medium-range Hermes drones, which are used in intelligence and surveillance. Apart from this, FPV i.e. First-Person View mini-quadcopter drones were sent, which are very small and loaded with explosives. They are capable of causing destruction in a moment. Ukraine is using it a lot in its attack on Russia. Iran has already reverse engineered the American RQ‑170 and is now developing a new stealth drone on the same basis. What will happen if Iran makes this drone? FPV and fixed-wing drones can enter the air with stealth and reach and confuse Israeli air defense systems. The wood-metal mix airframe can neutralize Israel's radars. Drones like Hermes can do long-range spying. They can monitor missile centers. Drones like S‑171 Simorgh can help in air strikes, electronic warfare and missile launches during war. Not only this, if Iran makes it, it can also sell it and earn a lot of money.
