Overview

  • The foreign ministers of the UK, France and Germany have invited Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi to Geneva on Friday, with final confirmation from Tehran still pending.
  • Those talks are set to focus on negotiating Tehran’s reduction of uranium enrichment under the 2015 Vienna nuclear agreement.
  • Iran insists its nuclear efforts are peaceful and says it launched missile strikes in self-defence after Israel’s June 13 assault on its nuclear and military sites.
  • Israel’s attack targeted Iran’s nuclear facilities, military installations and major cities and prompted intense Iranian retaliation.
  • President Trump is demanding Iran’s unconditional surrender of its enrichment capabilities even as European states call for diplomatic de-escalation.
