Iran Halts Nuclear Talks Amid Ongoing Israeli Strikes

Iran has declared it will not return to nuclear negotiations while under military assault, following renewed Israeli airstrikes. 

The statement came after Israeli Defence Minister Eyal Zamir warned of a potentially extended confrontation with Tehran, cautioning of "difficult days ahead."

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, speaking after talks with European diplomats in Geneva, emphasized that diplomacy could only resume once Israeli "aggression" ceases.

The situation escalated with Israeli forces targeting Iranian missile sites in response to Iran’s missile launch toward central Israel. Loud explosions were reported near Tel Aviv, with falling debris reportedly igniting a building in the city.
