Iran, E3 Agree to Resume Nuclear Talks: Iranian Media
The source told Tasnim that Tehran and the European parties to the 2015 nuclear deal have come to an agreement in principle on the resumption of the talks about Iran's nuclear program, but the timing and location of the negotiations are under debate.
The decision as to which country will be hosting the upcoming talks has not been finalized yet, the source said.
Tasnim had obtained information earlier that Iran was considering a request from the European troika, referred to as EU3, about the resumption of talks on the nuclear issue and the removal of sanctions.
Reports suggest that the next round of talks will be held at the level of deputy foreign ministers of Iran, the UK, France and Germany.

Tehran and Washington were engaged in negotiations led by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and US President Donald Trump's foreign envoy Steve Witkoff and had conducted five rounds of indirect talks mediated by Oman when Israel launched a series of unprovoked aggressions, which upended the process.
While the Zionist regime waged a war of aggression against Iran on June 13 and struck Iran's military, nuclear, and residential areas for 12 days, the US stepped in and conducted military attacks on three nuclear sites in Iran's Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan on June 22.
The Iranian military forces conducted powerful counterattacks immediately after the aggression. The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Aerospace Force carried out 22 waves of retaliatory missile strikes against the Zionist regime as part of Operation True Promise III, which inflicted heavy losses on cities across the occupied territories.
Also, in response to the US attacks, Iranian armed forces launched a wave of missiles at Al-Udeid air base in Qatar, the largest American military base in West Asia.
A ceasefire that came into force on June 24 has brought the fighting to a halt.

Trump says he did not discuss UK plan to recognize Palestinian state with Starmer
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer did not discuss London's plan to recognize a Palestinian state unless Israel takes a number of steps to improve life for Palestinians. Starmer said on Tuesday that Britain was prepared to recognize a Palestinian state in September at the United Nations General Assembly in response to growing public anger over the images of starving children in Gaza. "We never did discuss it," Trump told reporters on board Air Force One while traveling back to the U.S. after meeting Starmer in Scotland. Trump said recognizing a Palestinian state would reward Palestinian militant group Hamas. "You're rewarding Hamas if you do that. I don't think they should be rewarded," he said. Trump said the U.S. had sent money for food aid for Palestinians in Gaza, and that he wanted to make sure it's properly spent. "I want to make sure the money is spent wisely and is spent judiciously, and that food is distributed in a proper manner," he said.

President Joseph Aoun met Thursday with the head of the U.S. Middle East Command (Centcom), General Michael Kurilla, who welcomed the army's deployment in southern Lebanon following the recent war between Israel and Hezbollah. This visit comes on the eve of the 80th anniversary of the Lebanese Army, and at a time when the issue of disarming Hezbollah is causing tensions in Lebanon. According to the Lebanese presidency, the meeting focused on "President Aoun's consistent positions regarding the arms monopoly and the reactions to this issue, both domestically and internationally." The president stressed "the need to strengthen American support for the Lebanese army, which alone reflects the Lebanese people's desire to see their country free, sovereign, and independent." Strengthening military cooperation The two officials also discussed the situation in southern Lebanon. General Kurilla praised "what the Lebanese army has accomplished so far, following its deployment in most of the southern towns and villages," stating that he expected the end of this deployment after the withdrawal of Israeli forces, which maintain a presence at five points they consider strategic. He also congratulated Aoun for Army Day, before discussing the existing cooperation between the Lebanese Army and the American military, as well as ways to develop it in all areas. The two men finally discussed the situation in Syria and the evolution of relations between the two countries. On Thursday, Aoun gave a speech on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the Lebanese Army, in which he expressed the hope that the military and security forces would be the only ones to hold a monopoly on weapons "throughout Lebanese territory" and "from today onwards," sending messages both to Hezbollah, which he called on with its base to "take a gamble on the Lebanese state," and to its detractors, whom he urged to avoid "provocation and escalation." Earlier in the day, the Lebanese Army commander General Rodolphe Haykal also met the head of Centcom. According to a statement on the Lebanese army's X account, the two generals discussed the general situation in Lebanon and the region, as well as ways to strengthen cooperation between the Lebanese and American armies. On Wednesday, Haykal reiterated his commitment to "preserving national unity " and stressed that "the army will not tolerate any attempt to drag Lebanon into sedition."
