‘No talks while under fire’: Iran refuses nuclear talks with US until Israeli strikes end, as Europe races to prevent wider war

Iran has ruled out any negotiations with the United States over its nuclear programme while Israeli strikes continue, according to Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi. As the conflict enters its second week, European nations are attempting to revive diplomatic efforts. President Donald Trump has delayed a decision on U.S. involvement, giving diplomacy a narrow window. While Tehran insists on its right to uranium enrichment, Israel continues its campaign targeting Irans military and nuclear sites amid mounting casualties and fears of regional escalation.
