Iran launches rocket into space as nuclear talks to resume

13 Sept 03:38 Key points summarised by AI

Iran launched a solid-fueled Zuljanah rocket into space, coinciding with renewed diplomatic efforts to revive the stalled nuclear deal with world powers.
The White House condemned the launch as 'unhelpful and destabilizing,' asserting it defies a United Nations Security Council resolution against ballistic missiles capable of delivering nuclear weapons.
The launch further complicates fragile nuclear negotiations, which aim to restore the tattered agreement amidst Iran's increased uranium enrichment and removal of international monitoring cameras.
While Iran maintains the rocket serves its space industry, the U.S. intelligence community warns such technology accelerates Iran's potential development of intercontinental ballistic missiles.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
