European nations lead push for de-escalation in Israel-Iran war
GENEVA: Talks aimed at de-escalating the week-long war between Israel and Iran got under way in Geneva on Friday. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is meeting counterparts from the UK, France and Germany to discuss what he called "nuclear and regional issues" around the ongoing conflict. French President Emmanuel Macron is among those leaders urging Iran to return to negotiations over its nuclear program. Oil prices fell following a report from Reuters that Iran is ready to discuss limitations on uranium enrichment, but won't consider stopping entirely while it's under military attacks. Before negotiations with the US were suspended, Tehran had signalled its willingness to accept some restrictions on its enrichment activities, while Israel and US have said the Islamic Republic shouldn't be allowed to enrich uranium at all. Araghchi on Friday accused Israel of derailing the diplomacy with its strikes, telling the United Nations Human Rights Council that Iranian officials were scheduled to hold a next round of indirect talks with their US counterparts to "craft a promising agreement" that would make progress in resolving the nuclear issue.

European foreign ministers ready for more talks, urge Iran to engage with US on nuclear deal
At Geneva meeting, European ministers said that they are ready for further talks with Iran and urged Tehran to engage with the United States over its nuclear programme read more France's Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs Jean-Noel Barrot, Britain's Foreign Secretary David Lammy, Germany's Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul and European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaja Kallas, pose for photographs in the offices of the honorary Consul of the Federal Republic of Germany in Geneva, Switzerland, on Friday. Reuters European foreign ministers from the E3 — France, Britain, and Germany — along with the EU's foreign policy chief, held a three-hour meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi in Geneva on Friday. The talks aimed to revive stalled nuclear diplomacy, but ended without any immediate breakthroughs. However, the European ministers said that they are ready for further talks with Iran and urged Tehran to engage with the United States over its nuclear programme. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'The Iranian Foreign Minister has expressed his willingness to continue discussions on the nuclear programme and more broadly on all issues, and we expect Iran to commit to the discussion, including with the United States, to reach a negotiated settlement,' Reuters quoted French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot as saying. German foreign minister Johann Wadephul said that it is important that the US is involved in further talks and in finding a solution to the conflict. UK foreign minister David Lammy echoed similar sentiments, saying that the UK urges Iran to continue their discussions with the US. 'This is a perilous moment, and it is hugely important that we don't see regional escalation of this conflict,' Lammy was quoted as saying. Tehran, facing growing international pressure to accept tighter limits on its nuclear programme, has repeatedly refused to engage with the Trump administration while Israeli strikes continue. Ahead of Friday's talks in Geneva, European foreign ministers consulted US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who, according to diplomatic sources, indicated that Washington remained open to direct talks, even as it weighs joining Israeli military action targeting Iran's nuclear infrastructure. While the US has not officially confirmed this stance, CNN quoted a US official saying President Donald Trump supports diplomatic efforts by allies aimed at bringing Iran closer to a negotiated deal. 'Zero enrichment' The Trump administration has demanded Iran halt all uranium enrichment, a tougher stance than that of the E3 (France, Britain, Germany), which previously allowed limited enrichment under strict inspections. On Friday, French President Emmanuel Macron aligned more closely with Washington, saying any new deal with Tehran must aim for 'zero enrichment.' A senior Iranian official told Reuters Tehran is open to limits on enrichment, but would reject zero enrichment outright, especially amid ongoing Israeli strikes. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD At the UN in Geneva, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi accused Israel of a 'betrayal of diplomacy,' prompting a 'vehement objection' from Israel's envoy. Geneva was the scene of an initial accord between Iran and world powers to curb its nuclear programme in return for sanctions lifting in 2013 before a comprehensive deal in 2015. Separate talks between Iran and the U.S. collapsed when Israel launched what it called Operation Rising Lion against Iran's nuclear facilities and ballistic capabilities on June 12.

Middle-East Conflict: Who is Mossad's ‘Female Spy' Behind Irans Destruction?
Israel-Iran Tensions: As both nations continue exchanging aerial strikes, Iran's intelligence agencies and Israel's Mossad are engaged in the tensions as well, and over the past 24 hours, one name has reportedly surfaced. That face is of a female Mossad agent dubbed the 'Lady Killer' in Iran. But who is this operative, and how did she allegedly become a game-changer for Israel in Tehran? In today's DNA, Rahul Sinha, Managing Editor of Zee News, analysed the alleged female spy of Israel's agency: Watch Full DNA Episode Here: #DNAWithRahulSinha | मोसाद की 'लेडी किलर' का 'ऑपरेशन ईरान'. ईरान की बर्बादी में किस 'औरत' का हाथ? मोसाद की एक महिला जासूस के बड़े खेल का खुलासा हुआ है, जिसने ईरान में घुसपैठ की.... इसके बाद शिया इस्लाम कबूल किया और देश के बड़े अफसरों के घरों तक पहुंच बना ली...और ईरान की बर्बादी… — Zee News (@ZeeNews) June 20, 2025 Over the last eight days, nine top Iranian military commanders — from army chiefs to IRGC leaders — have been eliminated by Israel. Every time, Israeli jets targeted the exact building where these officials were present, delivering fatal strikes. Faced with the loss of so many senior commanders, Iranian intelligence went on high alert. Once they began connecting the dots between these strikes, one name emerged — Katherine Perez Sheked. Iranian intelligence discovered that Mossad had planted a female spy named Katherine in Tehran, and it was through her that Mossad had been allegedly receiving pinpoint information on the top Iranian military leadership. The Iranian agencies have not captured her. According to VAJA, Iran's intelligence agency, the "spy" is a French national trained by Mossad. After completing her training, she came to Iran and expressed interest in Shia Islam. Katherine even converted, after which she started moving among the wives of senior Iranian officers. Visiting their homes and winning their trust, she quietly began gathering intelligence on Iran's top commanders. Katherine kept sending this information to Mossad, which then directed the Israeli air force to the precise locations where Iranian commanders would be. Other Female Spies In History Intelligence agencies have reportedly used women operatives worldwide for complex missions. First on that list is Indian-origin Noor Inayat Khan. During World War II, Noor joined Britain's SOE and was sent to Nazi-occupied Paris to relay information from the French resistance. From June to September 1943, she carried out her work in secret until she was eventually arrested by German forces. In 1944, she was executed. After World War II, during the Cold War, the CIA relied on a spy named Yona Montague. A former bank employee, she was placed in banks across Eastern Europe — then under Soviet influence — and supplied vital information to the CIA for 15 years. She was never caught and retired from the agency in 1993. And during the 1973 Arab-Israeli War, there was Heba Selim, an Egyptian who spied for Mossad. After marrying an Egyptian officer, she passed on critical information — including air defense layouts — to Mossad, allowing Israel to inflict serious damage. Heba was eventually caught by Egyptian police in 1974 and executed alongside her husband.
