Israel-Iran conflict enters its second week with fresh attacks
While Friday's talks. which lasted for four hours in Geneva, failed to produce a breakthrough, European officials expressed hope for future negotiations.
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said he was open to further dialogue, but not while Israel continues its attacks on Iran.
'Iran is ready to consider diplomacy if aggression ceases and the aggressor is held accountable for its committed crimes,' Araghchi told reporters.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump continues to weigh US military involvement in the conflict. The American president is deliberating on whether to attack Iran's well-defended Fordo uranium enrichment facility - the facility is located under a mountain and widely thought to be out of reach to all but the US's 'bunker-buster' bombs.
On Thursday, President Trump said he would make a decision within two weeks whether the US will get involved militarily in Iran given the "substantial chance" for renewed negotiations over the country's nuclear program. Iran has stated it will not negotiate with the US unless Israel ends its attacks on the country.
The Israel-Iran war began on June 13, when Israeli airstrikes began targeting nuclear and military sites in Iran.
At least 657 people, including 263 civilians, have been killed in Iran and more than 2,000 wounded, according to a Washington-based Iranian human rights group. In Israel, at least 24 people have been killed and hundreds wounded.
According to Israeli army estimates, Iran has fired at least 450 missiles and 1,000 drones at Israel, with most being shot down by Israel's air defence system.

Israel says three Iranian commanders killed in new strikes
Israel said Saturday, June 21, it had killed three more Iranian commanders in its unprecedented bombing campaign against the Islamic Republic, which Foreign Minister Gideon Saar claimed had delayed Tehran's alleged progress towards a nuclear weapon by two years. Israel's military said a strike in Qom south of Tehran successfully targeted top Iranian official Saeed Izadi, in charge of coordination with Palestinian militant group Hamas, adding two other commanders from Iran's Revolutionary Guards were also killed overnight. As Israel continued to strike Iran's nuclear facilities and military targets, Saar said in an interview that by his country's own assessment, it had "already delayed for at least two or three years the possibility for them to have a nuclear bomb." Israel "will do everything that we can do there in order to remove this threat," Saar told German newspaper Bild, asserting the onslaught would continue. Israel and Iran have traded wave after wave of devastating strikes since Israel launched its aerial campaign on June 13, saying Tehran was on the verge of developing a nuclear weapon – an accusation the Islamic Republic has denied. Israel said it had attacked Iran's Isfahan nuclear site for a second time after its air force announced it had also launched salvos against missile storage and launch sites in the center of the country. The army later said it was striking military infrastructure in southwest Iran. Iran's health ministry on Saturday gave a toll of more than 400 people killed and 3,056 in the Israeli strikes. A US-based NGO, the Human Rights Activists News Agency, said on Friday that based on its sources and media reports at least 657 people have been killed in Iran, including 263 civilians. 'Not prepared to negotiate' Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi arrived in Istanbul on Saturday for a meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to discuss the conflict. Top diplomats from Britain, France and Germany met Araghchi in Geneva on Friday, and urged him to resume talks with the United States that had been derailed by Israel's attacks. But Araghchi told NBC News after the meeting that "we're not prepared to negotiate with them [the United States] anymore, as long as the aggression continues." US President Donald Trump warned on Friday that Tehran had a "maximum" of two weeks to avoid possible American air strikes, as Washington weighs whether to join Israel's campaign. Trump, dismissive of European diplomatic efforts, also said he was unlikely to ask Israel to stop its attacks to get Iran back to the table. "If somebody's winning, it's a little bit harder to do," he said. Any US involvement would likely feature powerful bunker-busting bombs that no other country possesses to destroy an underground uranium enrichment facility in Fordo. Iran's retaliatory strikes have killed at least 25 people in Israel, according to official figures. Overnight, Iran said it targeted central Israel with drones and missiles. Israeli rescuers said there were no casualties after an Iranian drone struck a residential building in Beit She'an. Israel's National Public Diplomacy Directorate said more than 450 missiles have been fired at the country so far, along with about 400 drones. Iran's Revolutionary Guards said they had targeted military sites and air force bases.

Belarus opposition leader Tikhanovsky freed from jail following visit from top Trump envoy
A top Belarus opposition leader, Sergei Tikhanovsky, has been released from jail after being pardoned, Belarusian human rights group Viasna said on Saturday. His wife Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, who took over the opposition cause after his jailing, shared a video of him smiling and embracing her after his release with the caption: "FREE". Tikhanovskaya's team said that the popular blogger and activist had arrived in Vilnius, Lithuania, alongside 13 other political prisoners. Tikhanovsky's release came just hours after the Belarusian authorities announced that the country's authoritarian President, Alexander Lukashenko, met with Trump's Ukraine envoy Keith Kellogg in Minsk. Tikhanovskaya said Saturday that officials from the United States had helped secure her husband's release. "It's hard to describe the joy in my heart," she said in a post on X, thanking US President Donald Trump, US envoy Keith Kellogg and European allies. Belarus marks one year since disputed presidential election 02:04 Tikhanovsky, 46, had been imprisoned for more than five years. He planned to run against Lukashenko in the August 2020 presidential election, but was arrested and detained weeks before the vote. His wife Svetlana – a political novice at the time of his arrest – took his place in the polls. He was sentenced in 2021 to 18 years in prison for "organising riots" and "inciting hatred" and then to 18 months extra for "insubordination". Belarus, ruled by Lukashenko since 1994, has outlawed all opposition movements and is the only European country to retain the death penalty as a punishment. There are more than 1,000 political prisoners in the country, according to Viasna.

Israel-Iran conflict: Haifa's residents face shortage of shelters from Iranian missiles
Moshe held three of his children close to him. His wife, Bracha, clung to their three other children. The youngest was three years old; the oldest, 15. On Friday afternoon, June 20, the blasts from Israeli defense systems echoed in the distance. Then, a much louder explosion made it clear to the 15 people packed into the makeshift shelter – a bare, 20m 2 ground-floor room – that another Iranian missile had just struck Haifa, a city of nearly 300,000 residents, about 15% of whom belong to Israel's Palestinian minority population. During the long minutes that followed the initial alert on their phones, the blaring sirens in the street, and then the sound of explosions, Moshe (who declined to give his last name) quietly recited the Psalms of David before thanking God for having spared him, his children, and his wife, who is a teacher. Both parents are in their 30s. "The Iranians have very powerful weapons; we have to act before they gain even more force," said Moshe, who is ultra-Orthodox, currently unemployed, and devotes most of his time to studying religious texts.
