Iran has no plans to abandon its nuclear programme, including uranium enrichment, despite "severe" damage to its facilities after US strikes last month, Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said.
For now, enrichment "is stopped because, yes, damages are serious and severe," Mr Araghchi told Fox News' "Special Report with Bret Baier."
"But obviously we cannot give up enrichment because it is an achievement of our own scientists," he continued, calling it a source of "national pride."
Washington is ready to attack Iranian nuclear facilities again "if necessary," US President Donald Trump said following the statement by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on serious damage after the previous attack.

Iran continues cooperating with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and it does not rule out that IAEA inspectors could return to the country in the future, the republic’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in an interview with Fox News.

"Based on the modality that we come to with the agency, that (return of inspectors - TASS) would be possible," the minister added.
"Any request by the agency to visit any place or to send inspectors or whatever should be carefully considered by our supreme National Security Council because of the safety and security concerns," he noted.
