Good morning Middle East Eye readers,

Here are the latest developments from Israel's war on Iran:

  • Iran on Thursday denied it is set to resume nuclear talks with the United States after the end of a 12-day war with Israel.

  • Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Thursday that a bill suspending cooperation with UN nuclear watchdog was now "binding" after being passed by lawmakers and approved by a top vetting body.

  • French President Emmanuel Macron said Thursday that US strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities were "genuinely effective" but the "worst-case scenario" would be if Tehran now exits the global non-proliferation treaty.

  • Israeli operatives “searched a lot” for Khamenei, but they could not find an “operational opportunity” to assassinate Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei during the 12-day conflict with Tehran, Israel’s Defence Minister Israel Katz said during an interview with Israel’s Channel 13.
