Iran’s foreign ministry has told Sky News there is still a chance for peace talks with the United States.<\/p>\n

In an interview in Iran’s foreign ministry in Tehran, a senior Iranian official said despite the attacks on his country by America and Israel, back-channel efforts are under way to restart the search for a diplomatic solution.<\/p>\n

The comments will be seen as an olive branch for the Trump <\/strong>administration to seize as it explores a diplomatic way forward.<\/p>\n

Sky News is one of only a handful of foreign news organisations allowed access to Iran following its short and devastating war with Israel.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We also filmed the impact of Israel’s attacks on ordinary Iranians in Tehran.<\/p>\n

In the wake of a ceasefire<\/strong> declared by Donald Trump, Esmaeil Baqaei, the Iranian foreign ministry spokesman, said the US must show it is genuine in its desire for peace.<\/p>\n

“Diplomacy must not be abused or used as a tool for deception or for simply a sort of psychological warfare against their adversaries.”<\/p>\n

Iran felt diplomacy had been betrayed, he said. US-Iranian talks were on the verge of reconvening when Israel attacked his country.<\/p>\n

And America had breached international law in its support of what he called “Zionist aggression”.<\/p>\n

But Mr Baqaei said “diplomacy never ends, there are contacts, indirectly. My minister is talking to Oman, Qatar and others”.<\/p>\n

President Trump says he is ready to talk with Iran, but major stumbling blocks need to be overcome.<\/p>\n

The US wants Iran to give up nuclear enrichment completely. Iran has long insisted it has the right to carry on.<\/p>\n

Across town, we witnessed the impact of Israel’s attacks in Gisha, an upmarket neighbourhood of Tehran.<\/p>\n

Israel claims its attacks on Iranian figures were precision-targeted. In reality they appear to have been far from surgical.<\/p>\n

The airstrike came at 10.30 Friday morning two weeks ago. It ripped a hole through four floors of reinforced concrete in the residential apartment block.<\/p>\n

The target may have been a nuclear scientist living there, but everyone in the building is now without a home. Engineers say it will almost certainly need to be torn down.<\/p>\n

The mood in the Iranian capital seems subdued and tense.<\/p>\n

Iranians fear Israelis will renew their air campaign despite the ceasefire, but the foreign ministry spokesperson said they “will respond” to any Israeli attack.<\/p>\n

There is widespread resentment of the leadership after nationwide social unrest and massive economic problems.<\/p>\n

But the Israeli attacks have rallied many Iranians around their government all the same.<\/p>\n

They had hoped diplomacy with America could deliver a new deal and an end to sanctions, then Israel began its 12-day aerial onslaught and the US joined in.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Iranians hope somehow talks can be restarted, but they also know the chances of progress are, for now at least, not great.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
