Israel and Iran launch fresh strikes as conflict enters second week | ITV News

Israel and Iran launched fresh strikes in the early hours of Saturday morning as the conflict enters its second week.

It comes as Iran’s top diplomat, Abbas Araghchi, said Tehran would not negotiate while Israel’s attacks continue.

His comments followed a meeting with foreign ministers from the UK, France and Germany on Friday, which failed to make progress in de-escalating the conflict.

“Iran is ready to consider diplomacy if aggression ceases and the aggressor is held accountable for its committed crimes,” he told reporters.

He added that any attack on Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities would be a grave breach of international law, reiterating that Tehran’s defensive capabilities are "not negotiable".

No date was set for the next round of talks.
