foreign minister

Last month Denmark's foreign minister summoned the US ambassador in Copenhagen, following a report in the Wall Street Journal alleging that US spy agencies were told to focus efforts on Greenland.

The telephone calls and ������sApp messages continue apace this weekend between leaders, foreign ministers and diplomats, with the expectation that there are many more days to come in this conflict between Israel and Iran.

After the first wave of attacks on Thursday night, the Iranian foreign minister condemned what he called Israel's "reckless" attacks on his country's "peaceful nuclear facilities".

Iran's foreign minister had warned European powers earlier this week that backing the motion would be a mistake and that it would react strongly.

Putin and his foreign minister Sergei Lavrov have upped their demands from earlier positions since the US restored contacts with the Russians in February.
