Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Iran is ready to "consider diplomacy" on condition that "Israeli aggression stops."

Speaking to reporters after several hours of talks with European foreign ministers in Geneva, Araghchi said:

"Iran is ready to reconsider diplomacy and once the aggression stops and the aggressor is held accountable for the crimes committed... We support the continuation of the discussion with [Britain, France, Germany and the European Union] and express our readiness to meet again in the near future."

Meanwhile, European foreign ministers told reporters they urged Iran to hold nuclear talks "without waiting" for the end of Israeli airstrikes.

"We invited the Iranian minister to consider negotiations with all parties, including the United States, without waiting for the cessation of attacks, which we also hope for," said French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot.

"It is illusory and dangerous to want to impose regime change from the outside. It is up to the people to decide their own fate," Barrot added after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not rule out the assassination of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
