Israeli defence minister warns Hezbollah against joining conflict with Iran​

Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz has warned Lebanon’s Hezbollah group to exercise caution, saying Israel’s patience with “terrorists” who threaten it had worn thin.
“The Hezbollah Secretary-General is not learning a lesson from his predecessors and is threatening to act against Israel in accordance with the Iranian dictator’s orders,” Katz said in a post on X.
Hezbollah’s previous leader Hassan Nasrallah was assassinated during Israel’s campaign against Hezbollah last year.
“I suggest to the Lebanese proxy to be careful and understand that Israel has lost patience with terrorists who threaten it.”
The head of Hezbollah, Naim Qassem, said on Thursday that the Lebanese group would act as it saw fit in the face of what he called “brutal Israeli-American aggression” against Iran.

IAEA: Khondab reactor damaged, but no ‘radiological consequence’ expected​

The International Atomic Energy Agency says it has assessed that Israel’s Thursday strikes on the Khondab heavy water research reactor damaged key buildings at the facility, including the distillation unit.
However, it said, because the Khondab reactor was still under construction and not operational, it contained no nuclear material. Therefore, no “radiological consequence” was expected, IAEA head Rafael Grossi said in a statement.
The statement said damage to the facility, which was previously named Arak, had initially not been visible, but that the agency had later assessed that key buildings in the complex had been damaged.
The Israeli military said it had specifically targeted “the structure of the reactor’s core seal, which is a key component in plutonium production”.

Araghchi: Iran ‘not prepared for talks’ while Israel’s attacks continue​

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has told state television that he is not prepared for talks with anyone while Israeli attacks continue, ahead of a scheduled meeting with European counterparts in Geneva.
Araghchi has arrived in Geneva, Switzerland, for a meeting with the foreign ministers of France, Germany and the UK, who are seeking to create a pathway back to diplomacy to de-escalate the conflict over Iran’s nuclear programme. The scheduled meeting is the first major diplomatic effort since Israel launched strikes on Iran last week.
But in comments to Iranian state television, Araghchi said that he was not prepared to talk while Israel continued its assault on his country, adding that “after our resistance against Israel, I think countries will distance themselves from this aggression”.
British Foreign Secretary David Lammy, who will take part in the talks in Geneva, said he believes “a window now exists within the next two weeks to achieve a diplomatic solution” after meeting senior US officials in Washington on Thursday.
