Iran says 'no specific date' for US nuclear talks - Region
"For now, no specific date, time or location has been determined regarding this matter," said foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei of plans for a meeting between Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and US envoy Steve Witkoff.
Iran had been negotiating with the United States before Israel began strikes on its nuclear facilities last month, which Washington later joined.
Araghchi and Witkoff met five times, starting in April, without concluding a deal, before Israel launched surprise strikes on June 13, starting a 12-day war.
"We have been serious in diplomacy and the negotiation process, we entered with good faith, but as everyone witnessed, before the sixth round the Zionist regime, in coordination with the United States, committed military aggression against Iran", said Baqaei.
The United States launched its own set of strikes against Iran's nuclear programme on June 22, hitting the uranium enrichment facility at Fordo, in Qom province south of Tehran, as well as nuclear sites in Isfahan and Natanz.
The extent of the damage from the strikes remains unknown.
With its own strikes, numbering in the hundreds, Israel killed nuclear scientists and top-ranking military officers as well as hitting military, nuclear and other sites.
Iran responded with missile and drone attacks on Israel, while it attacked a US base in Qatar in retaliation for Washington's strikes.
Israel and Western nations accuse Iran of pursuing nuclear weapons, a charge Tehran has consistently denied.
While it is the only non-nuclear power to enrich uranium to 60-percent purity, close to the level needed for a warhead, the UN's atomic energy watchdog has said it had no indication that Iran was working to weaponise its stockpiles.

Divided EU weighs action against Israel over Gaza war - War on Gaza
EU foreign ministers on Tuesday will discuss a raft of options for action against Israel over its war in Gaza -- but likely will not agree on any. The bloc's foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, has put forward 10 potential steps after Israel was found to have breached a cooperation deal between the two sides on human rights grounds. The measures range from suspending the entire accord or curbing trade ties to sanctioning Israeli ministers, imposing an arms embargo and halting visa-free travel. But despite growing anger over the devastation in Gaza, EU states remain divided over how to tackle Israel, and diplomats say there appears to be no critical mass for any move. "I was asked to give the inventory of the options that could be taken, and it's up to the member states to discuss what we do with these options," Kallas said Monday. The tone of discussions will be shaped strongly by how Israel is implementing a promise to the EU to improve humanitarian access to Gaza. Kallas said Thursday she had struck a deal with her Israeli counterpart, Gideon Saar, to open more entry points and allow in more food. Gaza's two million residents are facing dire humanitarian conditions as Israel has severely limited aid during its devastating war on the strip. "We see some good signs of more trucks getting in," Kallas said Monday. "But of course we know that this is not enough and we need to push more (so) that the implementation of what we have agreed also happens on the ground." At a meeting of EU and neighbouring countries in Brussels on Monday, Jordanian foreign minister Ayman Safadi said the situation in Gaza remained "catastrophic". 'No justification' Israel's Saar, speaking at the same meeting, sounded confident his country would avoid further EU action. "I'm sure not any of them will be adopted by the EU member states," said the foreign minister. "There's no justification whatsoever." While the EU appears unable for now to take any further moves against Israel, just getting to this stage has been a considerable step. The bloc only agreed to review the cooperation deal after Israel relaunched its devastating operation in Gaza following the collapse of a ceasefire in March. Until then, deep divisions between countries backing Israel and those more favourable to the Palestinians had hamstrung any move. The war began on October 7, 2023, and has killed at least 58,386 Palestinians and wounded more than 139,000, most of them women and children. Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:

Syrian government forces to enter majority Druze city of Sweida - Region
Syrian government forces will enter the majority Druze city of Sweida, the interior ministry said on Tuesday, to bring an end to deadly clashes with Bedouin tribes. Religious leaders from the Druze minority said in a statement they approved the entry of armed forces under the Damascus government, who were to impose a curfew on the southern city that has suffered two days of fighting which have killed around 100 people in the region. The spiritual leaders also called on Druze factions to hand over their weapons. The decision by the Damascus authorities followed two days of fighting that began between Druze fighters and Bedouin tribes and killed around 100 people. "The forces of the interior and defence ministries will begin to enter the centre of Sweida city," the head of interior security in Sweida province, General Ahmad Dalati, said in a statement. Government forces intervened in the fighting, saying they aimed to separate the warring parties, but have ended up in control of several Druze areas around Sweida, an AFP correspondent reported. The reporter saw columns of Syrian military heading for the city on Tuesday morning, as well as heavy artillery surrounding it. Israel, which portrays itself as a defender of the Druze and has previously intervened in Syria, launched strikes against government forces on Monday. Defence Minister Israel Katz said the strikes were a "clear warning to the Syrian regime". The violence began on Sunday when Bedouin gunmen abducted a Druze vegetable vendor on the highway to Damascus, prompting retaliatory kidnappings. After overthrowing Bashar al-Assad in December, Syria's new government, headed by interim leader Ahmad al-Sharaa, has faced numerous challenges, especially around security.

Iran says no date set for nuclear talks with US, demands ‘seriousness'
Iran has not yet set a time or place for resuming nuclear negotiations with the United States and conditions its return to the table on 'seriousness,' a foreign ministry spokesperson said on Monday. 'So far, no time or place has been set for the resumption of negotiations,' spokesperson Ismail Baghaei said at a weekly press conference, according to Iran's Tasnim news agency. He added that there were no arrangements for a meeting between Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and US envoy Steve Witkoff. When asked about Tehran's conditions for resuming talks, Baghaei said Iran had entered the negotiations with seriousness, but that Israel 'committed a crime against Iran' before the planned sixth round, a reference to the war Israel launched against Iran on June 13. 'Unless we are assured of the usefulness and effectiveness of diplomacy, we will not enter such a path,' Baghaei said. 'We must stress that the dichotomy of negotiating or not negotiating should not turn into a stigma against diplomacy. Diplomacy is an opportunity, and we are not authorised to deprive our country of its right to achieve its national interests. The diplomatic apparatus, just like the armed forces, must serve Iran's national interests,' he added. Araghchi said on Saturday that Iran was considering the 'time, place, form, and necessary guarantees' to resume negotiations with the United States. TALKS WITH EUROPE Regarding negotiations with the European troika of Germany, France, and Britain, Baghaei said: 'We are in contact with them, and we are committed to dialogue with them.' However, he stated that resuming talks with them was 'still under study, and I cannot specify a precise date at present, but we are holding consultations with these three countries.' Baghaei warned that if the European troika resorted to the 'snapback' mechanism to re-impose sanctions, it would mean 'they no longer see a role for themselves in the diplomatic process and the Iranian nuclear file.' He described the mechanism as having 'no legal basis or logical justification.' He also noted that the assessment of the damage to the Fordow nuclear facility from US strikes on June 23 was still ongoing. NO PROPOSALS FROM RUSSIA OR CHINA On the role of Russia, Baghaei said Tehran was in close contact with both Russia and China as parties to the nuclear deal and had 'strategic relations' with both countries. However, he noted that while Moscow and Beijing have always declared their readiness to help with the nuclear file, 'they have not presented any clear proposal so far.' Baghaei denied reports that Russian President Vladimir Putin had sent a letter to Iran suggesting it abandon uranium enrichment. He said there was no such letter and that Russia 'knows that Iranian decisions on the nuclear file are taken independently, and Russia has always respected this decision.'
