DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran is assessing the damage and lashing out over the American and Israeli airstrikes on its nuclear sites, though Tehran kept open the possibility Tuesday of resuming talks with Washington over its atomic program.

The targeted attacks showed Israel’s intelligence prowess, but a new generation of Iranian scientists could blunt the impact.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told CBS News he doubts negotiations with the U.S. will resume quickly, but isn't shutting down the idea of diplomacy in the near future. CBS News senior foreign correspondent Imtiaz Tyab sat down with Araghchi for the minister's first interview with a Western television network since the U.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security warned Americans of a "heightened threat environment" on June 22 that could include attacks on U.S. soil. That fear appeared to dissipate when Iran attacked a United States military base in Qatar June 23, injuring no one.

President Donald Trump said early Monday he is "not offering Iran anything" despite suggesting new nuclear talks with Tehran.
