Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the country will not negotiate its missile capabilities with any party during talks with European officials in Geneva on June 20.

Speaking to state broadcaster IRIB, Araghchi said that discussions with the European delegation focused solely on nuclear issues whilst ruling out any missile-related negotiations following more than a week of strikes on Israel following Tel Aviv's initial direct strike on Iran's top military officials and nuclear sites. 

"This dialogue is about nuclear matters and let me clarify that regarding missiles, we have no negotiations with anyone," Araghchi stated after meeting foreign ministers from Britain, France and Germany alongside the EU's foreign policy chief.

British Foreign Secretary David Lammy urged Iran to continue negotiations with the United States as he sought a diplomatic solution to the Middle East conflict.

Following the Geneva meeting, Lammy said Europeans were "keen to continue ongoing discussions and negotiations with Iran, and we urge Iran to continue their talks with the United States".

The British Foreign Secretary added: "We were clear: Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon."

Araghchi rejected any talks with Washington whilst Israeli strikes continue, describing Iran's missile capabilities as an "extraordinary defensive capability" following recent exchanges with Israel.

The Iranian Foreign Minister said his country conducted around 30 diplomatic contacts since Israeli attacks began, with President Masoud Pezeshkian also making several calls to international officials.

Araghchi requested United Nations Security Council meetings, with a second session scheduled for Friday at China's request, alongside correspondence with the International Atomic Energy Agency.

He condemned Western nations for failing to denounce Israeli strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, describing such attacks as "unforgivable violations" that constitute war crimes.

"We consider the Americans as partners and collaborators of the Zionist regime in these attacks," Araghchi stated, citing multiple indicators of US cooperation with Israeli forces.

The Foreign Minister confirmed Iran had refused American requests for dialogue whilst Israeli aggression continues, stating: "We are in legitimate defence and defence cannot be stopped."

Iran only targets military installations and economic centres in occupied territories, avoiding civilian areas and hospitals, Araghchi confirmed.

"Missiles are for defending the country and our missiles are carrying out this defence," the Foreign Minister said, ruling out any compromise on defensive capabilities.
