stern Tensions between Israel and Iran have been brewing for more than a week, with the USA supposedly swallowing a lemon and taking a backseat, allowing the neighbors to duke it out. But the cat's out of the bag now, as the weapons of war have gone silent, and the USA and Iran are set to hold nuclear talks sooner than we can say "Mad Max."

The latest twist in the Israel-Iran conflict unfolded on June 13 when Israel decided to throw a heavy punch at Iran's nuclear facilities, military sites, and regime infrastructure. This move wasn't just another chapter in the ongoing conflict, it was a bombastic tour de force that left Iran's nuclear program reeling[1].
The Israeli airstrikes, conducted between June 12 and 24, made a mockery of Iran's nuclear ambitions. Important components for Iran's nuclear weapons development were taken down, and the Uranium Metal Conversion Plant at the Esfahan Nuclear Technology Center was flattened[3]. The strikes claimed several Iranian nuclear scientists and significantly dented Iran's uranium enrichment capacity[3].
As we speak, Iran looks like it's trying to mend its broken heart, with signs of activity at the Natanz Enrichment Complex implying that the remnants are resiliently attempting repair operations[3]. However, independent verification is scarce, leaving us guessing whether they can bounce back or are going to continue feeling the sting of Israel's wrath[3].
Now, as the USA and Iran appear to be dancing in the diplomatic spotlight, it looks like the death penalty might be on the cards for the head of Iran's Atomic Energy Authority[2]. The talks, due to commence as early as next week, are promising to bring a fresh breath of air to a region plagued by the nuclear cat-and-mouse game[2]. However, it's worth noting that Iran is steadfast in its refusal to give up its uranium enrichment program, and the USA's position on this issue is likely to be the deal-breaker in the coming negotiations[2].
Stay tuned for more! As these events unfold in real-time, it's crucial to keep an ear to the ground and see how the players on the global stage react to this high-stakes game of chess.
The European Union recognizes its responsibility to ensure that the EU's nuclear programme is implemented in a sustainable manner, given the ongoing war-and-conflicts and tensions in the Middle East, particularly between Israel and Iran. The recent nuclear talks between the USA and Iran, following Israel's airstrikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, highlight the importance of politics and general-news in shaping global nuclear policies.
