Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov described security talks on Monday between Moscow and Washington as professional but said a breakthrough and compromises were needed.

Ryabkov said Russia would decide on whether to continue talks with the United States after planned meetings this week with NATO and in the auspices of the OSCE.

Speaking at a news conference after the talks in Geneva, Ryabkov said there was a basis for agreement between Russia and the United States but that Washington should not underestimate the risks of confrontation.

Iran's judiciary said Israeli strikes on Monday hit Tehran's Evin prison, leaving sections of the facility damaged.

"In the latest attack by the Zionist regime on Tehran, projectiles unfortunately struck Evin prison, causing damage to parts of the facility," said the judiciary's Mizan Online website.

It added that all resources had been deployed to manage the complex and the situation remained "under control".

Israel's defense minister said the army was targeting Tehran's notorious Evin prison Monday as it carried out fresh strikes on the Iranian capital, AFP reported.

The military "is carrying out strikes of unprecedented force against regime targets and agencies of government repression in the heart of Tehran. Among the targets... (is) Evin Prison (which holds political prisoners and dissidents)... and additional regime-related targets," Israel Katz said in a post on X.
