'We have nothing to discuss': Iran snubs possible US negotiations

Iran has snubbed any possible negotiations with the US - at least as long as Israeli attacks continue.

That's the latest from Geneva, where Abbas Araghchi, Iran's foreign minister, is going to meet with his counterparts from Britain, France and Germany this afternoon.

He's stuck to Iran's line that it won't meet US officials until Israel halts its strikes.

Watch what he had to say below:

Iran launches wave of missiles towards Israel

Iran has launched a wave of missiles towards Israel.

The Israeli military said it identified the attack in a statement and it was also reported in Iranian state media.

The Israel Defence Forces said sirens had sounded in "several areas across Israel" and it was working to intercept the threat.

Explosions are being heard over Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, Reuters news agency said.

Iran ready to discuss nuclear limitations, official tells Reuters

Iran is ready to discuss limitations to its nuclear programme, Reuters reports, citing a senior Tehran official.

The news agency quoted the official as saying Iran was prepared to talk about limitations to its uranium enrichment.

Zero enrichment would be rejected, "especially now under Israel's strikes," the source added.

The official also reportedly said Europe's role was stronger given Tehran's unwillingness to engage with the US as Israel continued to attack.

Positive signs?

The seemingly positive words match reports of America's similar willingness to sit down for talks.

However, Iran has repeatedly said it won't talk with Washington while Israeli strikes continue.

Yesterday, Donald Trump reflected a possible move in the right direction, saying: "There's a substantial chance of negotiations."

Enriching your way to peace

The nuclear fuel used in a reactor, or a nuclear bomb, needs to have a higher concentration of uranium-235 than naturally exists.

Only about 0.7% of natural uranium is capable of becoming weapons-grade.

To this end, uranium is enriched.

Iran has a number of enrichment facilities, such as Fordow - which is buried in a mountain.

But Tehran has always said these are for civilian use, not for making bombs, which need very high levels of uranium-235.

Facilities like Fordow use centrifuges to separate out the wanted uranium isotope, enriching it.

Limiting such enrichment efforts would keep Iran's uranium from levels needed for bombs, but at levels it could be used for civilian fuel.

Europe and Britain to tell Iran US is open to direct talks - even as Trump considers strikes

Europe and Britain will tell their Iranian counterpart in today's meeting in Geneva that the US is open to direct talks - even as Donald Trump mulls over striking Tehran directly.

Foreign minister Abbas Araghchi will be told that Iran must send a "clear signal", Reuters news agency reported, citing two diplomats.

US secretary of state Marco Rubio spoke to several of his Western counterparts ahead of today's meeting, the diplomats reportedly added, saying it indicated a readiness to engage.

Washington has not confirmed this, but CNN quoted a US official as saying that Donald Trump supported diplomacy.

And we reported earlier that the US preferred a diplomatic solution - but was open to a military one.

However, Tehran has repeatedly said it will not talk to Trump's government until Israel stops its attacks.

Watch: Inside top secret UK nuclear site

Stepping away from the Middle East for a moment, our security and defence editor Deborah Haynes has visited a top secret nuclear base in the UK.

Her trip comes as fighting in the Middle East hinges around Israeli claims that Iran was racing towards a nuclear bomb of its own.

Crowds gather for Friday prayers across Iran after regime calls for big turnout

In Tehran, crowds have gathered for Friday prayers - when Muslims gather for congregational worship - after calls from the regime for the public to show up in large numbers.

Many thousands have already fled the capital, and plenty of Iranians oppose the country's leadership, but some of those who turned up for prayer appeared to back the regime.

In Karaj, just outside Tehran, one woman in the crowd  their message for Tel Aviv residents is to "prepare your coffins".

Images from the event - shared by - show people walking over flags of Israel and the US.
