European Nations Lead Push for De-Escalation in Israel-Iran War
- On June 20, 2025, European foreign ministers from the UK, France, Germany, and EU's High Representative held intense talks with Iran in Geneva to de-escalate the Israel-Iran conflict.
- The meeting followed a week of escalating Israeli strikes on Iran’s nuclear and security sites, with Iran demanding a ceasefire before negotiations resume and accusing Israel of derailing diplomacy.
- Supporters reported suspended US and European airline routes to the Middle East, over 400 Europeans evacuated from Israel, a postponed Israeli-Palestinian peace conference, and calls for immediate aid and restraint.
- French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot said participants only 'sketch out' a diplomatic solution, while oil prices eased to around $76 a barrel after rising 10% since the war began.
- The talks suggest Europe's larger role as Iran-US diplomacy stalls, with urgent calls for de-escalation to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and to stabilize the Middle East region.
