Iran rules out new nuclear talks until attacks stop

# Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, says his country will not resume talks over its nuclear programme while under attack, hours after Israel’s defence minister warned of a “prolonged” conflict with the Islamic Republic. Israel’s ambassador to the UN earlier accused Iran of having a genocidal agenda and posing an ongoing threat, adding that Israel would not stop targeting nuclear facilities until they were dismantled. Fighting raged into the night with the Israeli military announcing a new wave of attacks against Iranian missile storage and launch infrastructure after Iran launched missiles towards central Israel.
