Tehran denies new Oman talks as backchannel rumors swirl
Shafaq News/ On Wednesday, Iran's Foreign Ministry denied sending a delegation to Oman for negotiations, contradicting reports that an Iranian government plane carrying negotiators had landed in Muscat. Reuters earlier cited sources saying the aircraft departed from Tehran and arrived in Oman despite ongoing airstrikes and a regional airspace lockdown prompted by the Israel–Iran conflict. This follows the collapse of a scheduled sixth round of US–Iran nuclear negotiations that had been planned for June 15 in Oman. Tehran canceled the session on June 14, just hours after Israel launched major airstrikes on Iranian military and nuclear facilities. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi at the time called continued diplomacy with Washington 'unjustifiable' in light of what he described as US-backed aggression.

Germany to Iran: Prove you're not building nuclear weapons
Shafaq News/ German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul urged Iran on Wednesday to provide clear, verifiable assurances that it is not pursuing nuclear weapons. At a joint press conference in Berlin with his Jordanian counterpart Ayman Safadi, Wadephul reaffirmed Germany's openness to diplomacy but pressed Tehran to act swiftly. 'It is never too late to come to the negotiating table, if one comes with sincere intentions.' His remarks followed a sharp escalation in regional tensions after Israel's June 13 launch of Operation Rising Lion, which targeted Iranian military and nuclear infrastructure. Tehran claimed the strikes also hit peaceful nuclear facilities. Germany, along with the US and UK, has endorsed Israel's right to self-defense in response to Iran's retaliatory barrage, known as True Promise 3. On Tuesday, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz defended the Israeli campaign, describing it as 'the dirty work Israel is doing for all of us.'

Israeli strikes hit Tehran in new wave
Shafaq News/ A new wave of Israeli airstrikes targeted sites in and around Tehran on Wednesday afternoon, according to local media. Explosions reportedly rocked the Lavizan district, Nobonyad Square, and the city of Karaj, in a mix of missiles and air defenses. The targeted areas carry strategic relevance, as Lavizan has long drawn scrutiny over suspected nuclear activity, while Karaj is associated with drone and missile production. Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had condemned Israeli attacks on the country as a 'serious miscalculation,' pledging a forceful response and affirming that Iran will not forgive violations of "its sovereignty or the blood of its martyrs." He also addressed President Donald Trump's warning to evacuate Tehran and his threat of assassination, calling the statements 'foolish' and warning Washington of 'irreversible consequences' if it intervenes. The escalation, now in its sixth day, continues with sustained missile and drone exchanges, and despite mounting international pressure, neither side has signaled a willingness to de-escalate.
