In a Face the Nation interview, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran has not sought a ceasefire or resumed talks with Washington, described its strikes as aimed at US assets, and said seized enriched material remains under damaged sites pending IAEA oversight.

Iran has not asked for a ceasefire and will defend itself as long as necessary.
Araghchi said Tehran will not negotiate with the United States now and called the war a choice by President Trump.
He said Iran is targeting American military assets, not civilian sites, and blamed neighboring states for hosting US strikes against Iran.
About 440 kilograms of enriched nuclear material are, he said, under rubble at damaged facilities and any recovery would occur under International Atomic Energy Agency supervision.
Araghchi said Iran had offered before US strikes to down-blend 60 percent enriched uranium but that no deal is currently on the table, and he said detained Americans in Evin Prison are safe unless prisons are attacked.
