Iran's foreign minister doubtful talks with U.S. will resume quickly, but says "doors of diplomacy will never slam shut"

President Trump recently indicated diplomatic talks with Iran could restart as soon as this week, although the White House noted no talks were officially scheduled. After U.S. airstrikes on some of Iran's nuclear facilities, followed days later by a ceasefire to end what Mr. Trump called the 12-day war between Iran and Israel, Iran's foreign minister seemed less certain about a speedy return to diplomacy.
"I don't think negotiations will restart as quickly as that," Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told CBS News through a translator.
"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," Araghchi said in his first interview with an American media outlet inside Iran since the bombings. "And I think with all these considerations, we still need more time."
