Iran open to uranium talks but rejects ‘zero enrichment' demand
A senior Iranian official has told Reuters that Tehran is prepared to discuss limits on its uranium enrichment programme, but made clear that demands for 'zero enrichment' are off the table.
'Such a demand would be undoubtedly rejected, especially now, under Israel's attacks,' the official said on Friday.
While Iran currently refuses to engage directly with the United States, the official stressed that it sees a growing role for European powers—particularly the E3 group of Britain, France, and Germany.
'We need to hear the E3's initiative on the nuclear issue,' the official added, suggesting that any progress will depend on Europe's diplomatic approach amid rising regional tensions.

Israel committing war crimes, says Iranian FM
20 June 2025 20:55 GENEVA (WAM) Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that his country's armed forces will defend Iran's sovereignty and territorial integrity with all might and by all an address to the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva on Friday, the top Iranian diplomat said that Iran has been subjected to an aggression that cannot be justified in any way, and "the justification for the aggression is equal to complicity.""We were supposed to meet with the Americans on June 15 to reach a very promising agreement on our nuclear programme" he said, condemning the attack against Iran's nuclear facilities as 'a major war crime, especially given the risk of environmental and public health disaster.""I stand before this prestigious institution to remind you that every member and observer of the Human Rights Council has a legal and moral duty to stand against this great injustice. The Israeli regime has launched an unprovoked aggression against Iran, which is a clear violation of the fourth paragraph of Article 2 of the United Nations Charter and is a bold challenge against all the principles and rules on which this council is based."He added: "This is an unjust war that has been imposed on my people since the morning of Friday, June 13; a war in which Israel has committed a series of illegal and criminal operations against non-commissioned military personnel, university professors and ordinary people.""Hundreds of my compatriots have been killed or injured following Israel's surprise attacks and terrorist operations against residential areas, public infrastructure, hospitals, medical centres, and even the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Our peaceful nuclear facilities have also been targeted; Even though they are under the full supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency and even though attacks on such facilities are strictly prohibited under international law."He underlined that Iran, as one of the founding members of the United Nations system, rightly expects each UN member countries to stand by justice, the rule of law, and the fundamental principles of humanity and morality. "Iran has been brutally invaded. This clear fact must not be allowed to be distorted by Israel and its supporters." Iran was attacked in the middle of a diplomatic process, he argued. "This action was a betrayal of diplomacy and an unprecedented blow to the foundation of international law and the UN system."

Israel-Iran conflict deepens, European diplomacy steps in
As the air war between Israel and Iran enters its second week, the foreign ministers of Britain, France and Germany are making renewed efforts to draw Iran back to negotiations, while US involvement remains undecided. Israel began striking Iranian targets last Friday, citing a mission to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. Iran responded with missile and drone attacks, insisting its nuclear program is peaceful. According to the Human Rights Activists News Agency, Israeli strikes have killed 639 people in Iran, including senior military officials and nuclear scientists. Iran's retaliatory attacks have reportedly killed at least two dozen civilians in Israel. Reuters has not independently verified the death tolls. While Israel has focused on nuclear and missile infrastructure, Western and regional officials say its broader aim includes destabilising the government of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Amid growing concerns of regional escalation, the foreign ministers of Britain, France and Germany, along with the EU's foreign policy chief, are scheduled to meet Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi in Geneva on Friday. 'Now is the time to stop the grave scenes in the Middle East and prevent a broader conflict that serves no one,' said British Foreign Minister David Lammy ahead of the meeting. Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping have condemned Israel's actions and called for de-escalation, according to the Kremlin. The US role remains uncertain. Lammy met in Washington with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff, to explore diplomatic options. Sources say Witkoff has held several phone calls with Araqchi since the conflict began. President Trump has alternated between threatening Tehran and encouraging a return to suspended nuclear talks. The White House said Trump will decide within two weeks whether the US will intervene militarily. However, observers note that the two-week timeline is often flexible, as Trump has previously allowed such deadlines to slip.
