US must rule out more strikes before new talks, Iranian minister says
TEHRAN — The US must rule out any further strikes on Iran if it wants to resume diplomatic talks, Tehran's deputy foreign minister has told the BBC.Majid Takht-Ravanchi says the Trump administration has told Iran through mediators it wants to return to negotiations, but had "not made their position clear" on the "very important question" of further attacks while talks are taking place.Israel's military operation, which began in the early hours of 13 June, scuppered a sixth round of mainly indirect talks set to take place in Muscat two days later.The US became directly involved in the conflict between Israel and Iran last weekend when it targeted three Iranian nuclear sites in a bombing raid.Takht-Ravanchi also said Iran will "insist" on being able to...

Iran's FM says talks with Washington 'complicated' by US strikes on nuclear sites
TEHRAN — Iran's top diplomat said on Friday that the possibility of new negotiations with the United States on his country's nuclear programme has been "complicated" by US strikes on three of the sites, which he conceded had caused "serious damage."The US was one of the parties to the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) which saw Iran agree to limit its uranium enrichment programme in exchange for sanctions relief and other benefits.That deal unravelled in 2018 after President Donald Trump unilaterally pulled the US out during his first term, calling it the "worst deal ever negotiated."Trump had suggested he is interested in new talks with Iran and said the two sides would meet next week.In an interview on Iranian state television...

Tehran is coming back to life, but its residents are deeply shaken
TEHRAN — In the heart of the Iranian capital, the Boof cafe serves up refreshing cold drinks on a hot summer's day.They must be the most distinctive iced Americano coffees in this city – the cafe sits in a leafy corner of the long-shuttered US embassy.Its high cement walls have been plastered with anti-American murals ever since Washington severed relations with Tehran in the wake of the 1979 Iranian revolution and the hostage crisis – which still cast a long shadow over this tortuous relationship.Inside the charming Boof cafe, Amir the barista says he'd like relations to improve between America and Iran."US sanctions hurt our businesses and make it hard for us to travel around the world," he reflects as he pours another iced coffee behind a jaunty wooden sign —...

Iran's uranium stocks said to be intact, UK media says citing European intelligence probe 
LONDON — Iran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium is believed to be largely intact following US strikes on the country's main nuclear sites, the Financial Times reported on Thursday, citing European officials.The newspaper, citing two people briefed on preliminary intelligence assessments, said European capitals believe Iran’s stockpile of 408 kilograms of uranium enriched close to weapons-grade levels was not being held in Fordow and may have been moved prior to US strikes on Sunday.Claims that uranium was moved from any of Iran’s nuclear sites were dismissed by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Thursday."We were watching closely and there was no indication to the United States that any of that enriched uranium was moved," she said.The initial...

EU leaders leave Israel partnership on shelf despite pressure to act
BRUSSELS — Despite a report saying there are “indications” that Israel was in breach of its human rights obligations over its ongoing war in Gaza, European leaders could only agree at their council summit on Thursday to "continue discussions" on a follow-up to the report.A majority of EU countries ordered the review of the bloc's deal with Israel over its war with Gaza, but they cannot agree on what to do with it.Over lunch on Thursday conducted in strict discretion, with mobile phones kept out of the room, the 27 EU leaders chewed over the eight-page review listing Israel’s human rights violations including blockade of humanitarian assistance, military strikes against hospitals and forced displacement of the Palestinian population.But despite a majority of 17...

Iran carries out wave of arrests and executions in wake of Israel conflict
TEHRAN — Iranian authorities have carried out a wave of arrests and multiple executions of people suspected of links to Israeli intelligence agencies, in the wake of the recent war between the two countries.It comes after what officials describe as an unprecedented infiltration of Iranian security services by Israeli agents.Authorities suspect information fed to Israel played a part in a series of high-profile assassinations during the conflict. This included the targeted killings of senior commanders from the elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and nuclear scientists, which Iran attributes to operatives of Israel's Mossad intelligence agency working inside the country.Shaken by the scale and precision of these killings, authorities have been targeting anyone suspected of...

Iran’s Khamenei claims ‘victory’ over Israel in first public appearance since ceasefire deal
TEHRAN — Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has said his country emerged victorious over Israel and “delivered a slap to America’s face” on Thursday.The speech in a video broadcast marked Khamenei's first public comments since a US-brokered ceasefire was declared between the two countries following 12 days of conflict.He told viewers that Washington had only intervened in the fighting because “it felt that if it did not intervene, the (Israeli) regime would be utterly destroyed.”Khamenei said that the US “achieved no gains from this war."“The Islamic Republic was victorious and, in retaliation, delivered a slap to America’s face,” he said, in apparent reference to an Iranian missile attack on a US base in Qatar on Monday, which resulted in all...

Tehran Symphony Orchestra holds free concert to honor Iranians killed in conflict with Israel
TEHRAN — The Tehran Symphony Orchestra held a free concert Wednesday at the city’s famed Azadi Square, dedicating it to Iranians killed in the 12-day conflict with Israel.As residents gathered for the performance, the orchestra played “Ey Iran,” the country’s unofficial national anthem that has long been considered a song of national pride and resistance and had once been banned by the Islamic Republic due to its association with anti-government sentiment.Established in 1933, the orchestra has survived multiple regimes, coups, revolution and wars, widely seen as a symbol of resilience.Its hardest days came during the term of hardline president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad when the orchestra was disbanded due to sanctions, financial difficulties and negligence.Three years later, reformist...
