Overview

• The four-hour June 20 meeting between Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and European ministers ended without a concrete agreement to resume talks.
• Iranian officials labeled European proposals for zero uranium enrichment and tougher inspections unrealistic and said they would review them in Tehran.
• Araghchi reiterated that Iran will not halt its nuclear program and demanded that Israel cease its airstrikes before any further negotiations.
• French President Emmanuel Macron pledged to accelerate European-led negotiations after his call with President Masoud Pezeshkian, who warned of more destructive responses to continued attacks.
• Casualties have surpassed 400 in Iran and at least 24 in Israel as President Trump said he will decide within two weeks on possible U.S. military intervention.
