Iran again rebuffs US talk of Trump-Rouhani meeting

Iran said the firing of John Bolton as US national security adviser will not push Tehran to reconsider talks with the US TRT World reports.

"The departure of US National Security Adviser John Bolton from President Donald Trump's administration will not push Iran to reconsider talking with the US," state news agency IRNA quoted Tehran's United Nations envoy Majid Takht-e-Ravanchi as saying.

Iran's President Hassan Rouhani urged the US to end "maximum pressure and belligerent policies".

"Iran's commitments to the nuclear deal are proportional to other parties and we will take further steps if necessary," Rouhani was quoted as saying.

2 British-Australians, 1 Australian citizen held in Iran

Two women who are dual British-Australian citizens and an Australian man have been detained in Iran, one of them sentenced to 10 years in prison, Australia's government and media said.

The three are held in Tehran's Evin prison, where British-Iranian Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, 41, has been detained since 2016 on spying charges, the newspaper reported.

Iran reneged on promise by transferring oil to Syria – UK

Britain summoned the Iranian ambassador to condemn what it said was a clear breach of the assurances it was given over the oil cargo of the tanker Adrian Darya 1, which had previously been detained for breaching EU sanctions.

"Iran has shown complete disregard for its own assurances over Adrian Darya 1," Foreign Minister Dominic Raab said in a statement, accusing Iran of reneging on a promise not to transfer oil from the tanker to Syria.

"This sale of oil to brutal (Syrian) regime is part of a pattern of behaviour by the Government of Iran designed to disrupt regional security."

Britain said it would raise the issue at the UN later this month.

Iran's failure to address IAEA concerns 'unacceptable' – US

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Tuesday accused Iran of "possible undeclared nuclear activities," as the UN's nuclear watchdog presses Tehran for answers on its atomic safeguards.

"The Iranian regime's lack of full cooperation with @iaeaorg raises questions about possible undeclared nuclear material or activities," Pompeo tweeted.

"The world won't fall for it. We will deny the regime all paths to a nuclear weapon."

The US, however, repeated it remained open to talks with Tehran on a "comprehensive deal."
