In an interview on Iranian state television broadcast late Thursday, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi left open the possibility that his country would again enter talks on its nuclear program, but suggested it would not be anytime soon.

Middle East expert Jacob Olidort says Iran's assessment of nuclear site damage reinforces U.S. and Israeli views, as both countries claim their objectives were met in recent strikes.

The assessment came hours after the country’s supreme leader had downplayed the damage the U.S. strikes had caused.
