TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Foreign ministers from the Group of Seven (G7) countries have voiced their support for the recent ceasefire between Iran and Israel and called for the resumption of negotiations between Iran and the United States on Iran's nuclear program."We call for the resumption of negotiations, resulting in a comprehensive, verifiable and durable agreement that addresses Iran’s nuclear program," read a joint statement by G7 members, released on Monday, June 30, 2025, as quoted from Al Jazeera.The G7 also urged all parties to refrain from actions that could escalate regional tensions.Iran Rejects Immediate NegotiationsDespite the G7's plea, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that Iran would not resume negotiations with the United States in the near future. In an interview with CBS Evening News on Monday night, Araghchi responded to U.S. President Donald Trump's suggestion that talks could begin as early as this week.Araghchi denied this possibility, emphasizing that Iran requires security guarantees first. "In order for us to decide to reengage, we will have to first ensure that America will not revert back to targeting us in a military attack during the negotiations," he explained.He added that considering various factors, Iran needs more time before deciding to return to the negotiating table, though he affirmed, "The doors of diplomacy will never slam shut."U.S.-Israel Attacks Disrupt Diplomatic ProcessDiscussions on Iran's nuclear program with the United States were underway when Israel launched attacks on Iran's nuclear and military infrastructure. The U.S. then participated, bombing the Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan facilities on June 21.Iran maintains that its nuclear program is peaceful, but the U.S. and Israel believe action is necessary to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. Trump claimed that the U.S. attacks had destroyed Iran's nuclear sites, with senior U.S. officials adding it was unlikely Iran could restore its atomic program.However, Araghchi refuted these claims. "One cannot destroy technology and science solely through bombings," he told CBS, stressing that if Iran has the will—which he asserted it does—the country can quickly repair the damage and advance its nuclear industry.However, Araghchi denied these claims. "One cannot obliterate the technology and science for enrichment through bombings," he told CBS.Araghchi emphasized that if Iran has the will, which he asserted it does, the country can quickly repair the damage and advance its nuclear industry.Iran Halts Cooperation with IAEASince the attacks and the subsequent ceasefire agreement, Iran has suspended its cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that the IAEA's actions had damaged the relationship between the two parties.Resul Serdar, an Al Jazeera journalist reporting from Tehran, noted escalating tensions between Iran and the IAEA. "They (Iranian authorities) are saying that they will only allow the inspectors to return once they secure the nuclear sites," Serdar said.Meanwhile, the G7 foreign ministers continue to advocate for diplomacy as a solution, emphasizing that regional stability must be maintained and further military conflicts avoided to prevent escalation in the Middle East.Editor's Choice: EU Diplomats Visit Palestine's West Bank Following Deadly Israeli Settlers AttackClick here to get the latest news updates from Tempo on Google News
