The UK, France, and Germany will hold emergency talks with Iran’s foreign minister in Geneva, aiming to de-escalate the Israel-Iran conflict. UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy said “a window now exists” over the next two weeks for diplomacy. This follows the White House announcement that Donald Trump will decide within a fortnight whether the US will take direct action against Iran. Meanwhile, Israel continues its strikes, hitting alleged missile sites in Tehran. An Iranian missile injured seven people in Beersheba, southern Israel. Casualty figures in Iran remain unknown due to restrictions on foreign media coverage within the country. (PC: EPA)
