Europe to Offer Iran 'Diplomatic Solution' to War with Israel
- European powers aim to present a negotiated approach to resolve the Iran-Israel conflict during talks in Geneva with Iran's foreign minister scheduled for June 2025.
- This escalation follows a series of intensified attacks beginning on June 12, when Israel initiated a large-scale military campaign targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities, prompting Iran to respond with overnight strikes.
- British Foreign Minister David Lammy will join his European counterparts and the EU’s chief diplomat to seek a diplomatic resolution and prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
- US President stated on June 18, 2025, that only the US has bunker-busting bombs capable of dismantling Iran’s Fordo nuclear facility but did not commit to doing so.
- The diplomatic talks suggest a narrow window to avoid escalation and possible US military involvement, while Iran insists it remains committed to diplomacy but warns of serious consequences if snapback sanctions are triggered.
