Tehran is ready to “consider diplomacy” again only once Israel’s “aggression is stopped”, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said following talks in Geneva with his European counterparts on Iran’s nuclear programme on Friday.

“Iran is ready to consider diplomacy once again and once the aggression is stopped and the aggressor is held accountable for the crimes committed... We support the continuation of discussion with Britain, France, Germany and the European Union and express our readiness to meet again in the near future,” Mr. Araghchi told reporters following the talks at a Geneva hotel.
