U.S. plans nuclear talks with Iran in Oslo next week
White House envoy Steve Witkoff is planning to meet Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in Oslo next week to restart nuclear talks, according to two sources familiar with the discussions. Why it matters: The sources said a final date hasn't been set, and neither country has publicly confirmed the meeting. But if it happens, it would mark the first direct talks since President Trump ordered an unprecedented military strike on Iran's nuclear facilities last month. "We have no travel announcements at this time," a White House official told Axios. The Iranian mission to the UN declined to comment. Behind the scenes: Witkoff and Araghchi have been in direct contact during and since the 12-day war between Israel and Iran, which ended in a U.S.-brokered ceasefire, according to the sources. Omani and Qatari officials have also been involved in mediating between the two sides. In the immediate aftermath of the war, the Iranians were reluctant to engage with the U.S., but that position has gradually softened. Israel's Channel 12 was the first to report on the planned meeting. What to watch: A key issue in any future talks will be Iran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium, which includes 400 kilograms enriched to 60%. Israeli and U.S. officials say the material is currently "sealed off from the outside world" inside the three nuclear sites attacked during the joint strikes: the enrichment facilities at Natanz and Fordow, and the underground tunnels at the Isfahan site. Iran is unable to access the stockpile for now due to damage from the strikes, but it could be recovered once the rubble is cleared. State of play: Iran announced earlier this week that it has begun implementing a new law passed by parliament that suspends all cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Araghchi wrote on X Thursday that Iran remains committed to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and its Safeguards Agreement. "In accordance with the new legislation by [parliament], sparked by the unlawful attacks against our nuclear facilities by Israel and the U.S., our cooperation with the IAEA will be channeled through Iran's Supreme National Security Council for obvious safety and security reasons," he wrote.

Iran Says Cooperation With UN Nuclear Inspectors to Continue
Iran will continue to engage with the UN's nuclear watchdog even after it announced the suspension of cooperation, the country's top diplomat said, boosting hopes for oversight of its contested atomic program despite Israel's attacks. 'Cooperation with @iaeaorg will be channeled through Iran's Supreme National Security Council for obvious safety and security reasons,' Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on X. He was responding to a post by the German Foreign Office that criticized a law passed in Tehran last week that said cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency had been suspended.

European Powers Alarmed As Iran Halts Nuclear Oversight
This article was originally published by Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and is reprinted with permission. Iran has enacted a decision to suspend its cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), alarming European powers who called the move 'disastrous.' Iranian President Masud Pezeshkian on July 2 enacted a law passed last week — after Israeli and US airstrikes over 12 days hit its most-important nuclear facilities — to stop cooperating with the UN nuclear watchdog until Tehran receives guarantees that its nuclear sites and scientists are safe and that its right to enrich uranium domestically is assured. Suspending cooperation with the IAEA means Iran will halt inspections, reporting, and oversight activities under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). German Foreign Ministry spokesman Martin Giese said the decision sends a 'disastrous signal,' insisting that cooperation with the watchdog is 'crucial' for 'diplomacy to succeed.' A day before the implementation of the law, French President Emmanuel Macron urged Russian leader Vladimir Putin to persuade Iran to resume cooperation with the IAEA, which the Kremlin agreed to, according to RFE/RL sources. Putin also expressed support for a diplomatic resolution, potentially including a zero-enrichment outcome in Iran — a non-starter for Tehran. Macron warned that without a solid deal between Tehran and Washington on Iran's nuclear program, European powers would begin the process of re-imposing UN sanctions against the Islamic republic. The United States and Iran had engaged in five rounds of indirect negotiations over Tehran's nuclear program before the talks broke down, prompting Israel to launch airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities and military targets on June 13. The United States entered the conflict on June 22, joining Israel by striking three major Iranian nuclear sites, including the heavily fortified underground facility at Fordow. Eric Brewer of the Washington-based Nuclear Threat Initiative, said 'a new and dangerous phase' had begun with Iran's decision to suspend cooperation with the IAEA. 'The task of understanding what's happening at Iran's nuclear sites, new and old, will fall entirely on intelligence organizations,' Brewer, a former US intelligence analyst, wrote on X. In an interview with CBS News aired on July 1, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi indicated that Tehran remains open to talks with the Washington. 'I don't believe negotiations will restart as quickly as that,' Araqchi said, responding to Trump's suggestion that talks could begin as soon as this week. Still, he emphasized, 'the doors of diplomacy will never be completely closed.' But Trump this week appeared to change his stance on talks with the Islamic republic, writing on his Truth Social platform that he is 'not offering Iran anything…nor am I even talking to them since we totally obliterated their nuclear facilities.' The full impact of the 12-day conflict with Israel on Iran's nuclear program is still uncertain. While Iran claims its nuclear facilities were heavily damaged, it has pledged to press on with its program, insisting it remains peaceful. IAEA chief Rafael Grossi stated last week that Iran could restart uranium enrichment 'in a matter of months.' Tehran has repeatedly accused the UN nuclear watchdog of bias, alleging it collaborates with Western nations and Israel against Iran. For years, Grossi has criticized Iran for what he sees as a persistent lack of cooperation in the agency's efforts to investigate previously undisclosed nuclear sites. This ultimately resulted in the IAEA Board of Governors last month issuing a rare non-compliance resolution against Iran, which Tehran claims facilitated Israel's attacks.
