Iran confirms nuclear talks with European powers, first since US strikes

Iranian diplomats will meet counterparts from Britain, France and Germany, known as the E3, after the trio warned that sanctions could be reimposed on Tehran if it does not return to the negotiating table over its nuclear programme.
Western nations and Israel have long accused Iran of seeking to develop nuclear weapons, a charge Tehran has consistently denied.
'In response to the request of European countries, Iran has agreed to hold a new round of talks,' said foreign ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghai, as quoted by state TV on Monday.

China trade talks could include TikTok, Lutnick says
TikTok may come up in trade talks with China next week , but if Beijing does not approve a divestment deal for Chinese owner ByteDance, the app will soon go dark in the United States, US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said on Thursday. US President Donald Trump's administration will allow TikTok to remain in the US 'if it's in American control, and … China can have a little piece or ByteDance, the current owner, can keep a little piece', Lutnick said, speaking on CNBC. 'Americans will have control. Americans will own the technology, and Americans will control the algorithm. That's something Donald Trump is willing to do. If that deal gets approved then by the Chinese, then that deal will happen,' he said. 'If they don't approve it, then TikTok is going to go dark, and those decisions are coming very soon.' Asked whether an agreement over TikTok is part of current trade negotiations, Lutnick said 'yes and no'. 'It's not really part of the trade talks, but you can't really go meet somebody and not bring up the topics that are relevant,' he said. 'So … it's not officially part of it, but unofficially? Of course.' ByteDance is under pressure to divest the short-video app by September 17 or face a ban in the US. Last year, then-US President Joe Biden signed a sale-or-ban law, requiring that a 'foreign adversary' no longer control the app, defined as a 20 per cent stake, over national security concerns. Despite an original January deadline, Trump has repeatedly delayed enforcement of the law. The original deadline as set in law was January 19, with allowance for a one-time 90-day extension if progress towards a sale was evident. Trump had extended that deadline his first day in office via executive order, days after a call with Chinese President Xi Jinping during which TikTok was discussed. He has since extended it twice more.

Ukraine demands Zelensky-Putin talks, Russia proposes brief truces
Ukraine on Wednesday proposed direct talks within weeks between its President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russia's Vladimir Putin, but Moscow tempered prospects for progress at a fresh round of talks in Istanbul on Wednesday. A Russian negotiator said his country agreed to the latest in a series of prisoner exchanges with Ukraine and proposed brief ceasefires allowing dead and wounded soldiers to be recovered. Host country Turkey urged steps towards a lasting ceasefire and peace deal, but the Kremlin played down any expectations of a breakthrough after 3½ years of war. Ukraine's lead negotiator, Rustem Umerov, told reporters: 'Priority No 1 is to organise the meeting of the leaders, of presidents', in comments after the talks. He said Kyiv had proposed to hold the talks by the end of August, with US President Donald Trump and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also taking part. Moscow's lead negotiator Vladimir Medinsky told reporters the sides had lengthy discussions but added: 'The positions are quite distant. We agreed to continue contacts.'
