Three European powers met with an Iranian minister to try to reopen negotiations over the limits of its nuclear activities.

Iranian diplomats have met their counterparts from the UK, Germany, and France for nuclear talks, for the first time since Israel launched attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities in June. The strikes triggered a 12-day war, which also saw the US bomb a number of Iran's nuclear sites, bringing US-Iran nuclear talks to an abrupt end.

Iran and European powers agree they need to hold another round of nuclear talks soon following discussions in Istanbul on Friday, said Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi.
