Iran war day 78: Trump, Tehran signal talks as Lebanon truce extended
"Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said during a BRICS meeting that Tehran had received communication from the administration of US President Donald Trump indicating openness to new negotiations aimed at ending the war. However, Araghchi said a deadlock remained over the issue of Iran's enriched nuclear material. Trump also suggested he could be open to Iran placing its civilian nuclear programme on hold for two decades, provided Tehran demonstrates what he described as a genuine commitment to a broader agreement."
"Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the US had sent messages indicating it was willing to continue talks, and that he was open to any support including from China. “We appreciate any country who has the ability to help, particularly China,” Araghchi said. He linked the messages to potential negotiations while maintaining that the nuclear enrichment dispute still blocks progress."
"Lebanon has welcomed an agreement with Israel to extend a fragile ceasefire by 45 days beyond Sunday's deadline following talks in the United States, even as Israeli forces continued attacks on towns and villages in southern Lebanon. At least 12 people were killed on Friday, including three paramedics, according to Lebanese authorities. The extension came despite ongoing strikes in the same areas covered by the ceasefire."
"The municipal government said US-Israeli attacks during the war caused at least 650 impact incidents across the capital, killing more than 1,260 people and wounding at least 2,800. Officials also said about 51,000 homes were damaged, along with more than 10,700 cars and 754 motorcycles, including nearly 150 taxis. The figures were attributed to attacks during the war."
